The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) of Bahrain has recently issued a public consultation on the proposed amendments to the Prepaid Telecommunications Services Registration Regulation.

Members of the public and industry can submit their comments on the new amendments or any existing provisions of the regulation, a statement from TRA said.

These comments will then be taken into consideration in the final regulation. Comments should be submitted by no later than June 14, the statement said.

TRA is amending this regulation with the aim of protecting the interests of public safety and discouraging attempts to exploit telecommunications networks for illicit purposes, it said.

The new amendments to the regulation require prepaid service providers to take certain actions to achieve a clean and accurate subscribers’ database and records. – TradeArabia News Service
