KUWAIT, June 17
(KUNA) -- The Communication and Information Technology Regulatory Authority
(CITRA) has called telecommunication companies to commit to the marketing
schemes for the newly launched 5G service including its various segments,
categories, and prices. CITRA would carry out all legal actions against
companies that fail to launch the new service with all its segments and
categories, CITRA's Chairman and CEO Eng. Salim Al-Ozainah affirmed to KUNA
Monday. It is also important that telecom companies commit to CITRA laws
regarding competition; otherwise, CITRA would be forced to take legal
procedures against them, added Al-Ozainah. The 5G technology would be so
essential for users and service providers in enhancing the telecom market in
the country, he noted; adding it had already made a quantum leap in the
Internet system around the world with a peak speed of 20 Gbps. Established in
2014, CITRA is responsible for overseeing the telecommunications sector,
monitor and protect the interests of users and service providers and regulate
the services of telecommunication networks in the country, while ensuring
transparency, equality of opportunity and fair competition.
