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 G5 service, including its various segments, categories, and prices.
The Authority 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 Salem Al-Athainah affirmed to KUNA Monday.
It is also important that telecom companies commit to CITRA laws regarding competition; otherwise, the Authority would be forced to take legal procedures against them, added Al-Athainah.
The G5 technology would be so essential for users and service providers in enhancing the telecom market in the country, he noted, adding it has 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.
