Arab Finances: The National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Egypt (NTRA) has levied a fine of EGP 20 million on Telecom Egypt after monitoring a significant breakdown in the firm’s infrastructure and disconnection of voice and internet services across the country on December 5th, according to a statement.
The authority has also directed the service operator to compensate the affected customers according to the public compensation rules issued by NTRA to operators.
After the breakdown, NTRA formed a technical committee to determine its causes, impact, duration, and the affected areas. The fine is based on the committee’s report.
