MANAMA: Bahrain’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) has welcomed a request from Batelco and Zain to renew mobile frequency licences that were granted to them in conjunction with the promulgation of the Telecommunications Law and the liberalisation of the Mobile Market in 2002.
This is the first request of its kind where licensees invoked their right to request a renewal for an additional 10-year period after the initial 15 year licence duration has elapsed, said a statement from TRA .
