Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA), the nation’s telecom regulator has started working to open license for Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO).
The Details:
- MVNO is the communication services provider that purchases infrastructure, including spectrum and core network, from existing Mobile Network Operator (MNO) at wholesale rate and resells it to consumers at competitive prices under its own brand.
- MVNO aims to increase the competition and maximize the usage of network.
- NTA intends to use MVNO for the expansion of Mobile network across the country and encourage the competitive growth.
