Nepal may get a third mobile carrier, this, according to the new Minister for Information and Communications Shankar Pokharel. The two current carriers have a guarantee in place that no other operators will enter the scene until September 2010 at the earliest. Minister Pokharel commented:
“It is the responsibility of the telecom company to provide the best quality of service to the consumers whether by upgrading the technology or hiring qualified human resources who know how to fix the problems…If they fail to come up with a solution, the government will have to resort to the option of bringing in another telecom company to enhance competition and give the quality of service that people desire.”
Gotcha. I would imagine cell reception is ‘iffy’ at best out there in the mountains. Must be frustrating for the locals. Nepal currently has somewhere around 4.65 million mobile users… Bring the reception or bring on the competition!
