The UAE's Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) has announced the introduction of further competition in the telecommunication market through Carrier Selection Service. According to WAM, fixed line subscribers are now able to choose one of the two UAE telecom operators for calls from their homes and offices to national and international numbers.
The deadline given to "du" to launch such a service to be provided to the public gradually has been July 26.
Mohamed Al Ghanim, TRA Board Member and Director General, said: "The UAE has become the third country in the Arab World to have competition in the fixed line market, after less than three years of its inception, and after less than one year from the introduction of competition in the UAE telecom sector.
''Competition in the Telecommunications Sector benefits business and residential consumers in the form of increased quality of service, introduction of innovative services and healthy price competition," he said.
