Etisalat Delivers its Annual Cost Evaluation Report for TRA |
||||||||||||
|
Etisalat delivered a comprehensive cost evaluation review for the year 2009, to the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA). This is an obligation under the current regulatory framework, which directs Etisalat to share its product and service set costing information with the regulator for pre-approval of price changes and promotions. This model has been built to world best practice and standards and is in line with the TRA’s guidance instructions to Etisalat on building the cost allocation system for the purposes of making regulatory pricing determinations. Under the current Price Change Request policy framework, the regulator approves the prices of services in the UAE on the basis of either using UAE-specific costs of Etisalat’s national network or international benchmarks. Now that Etisalat has submitted its cost evaluation model, as per the TRA’s requirements, Etisalat expects to be able to implement significant and wide-spread changes in its calling tariffs and bring greater choice to customers in the UAE. In completing this study Etisalat reconfirms its support for the ongoing development of the telecommunications sector and the numerous economic benefits it delivers to the citizens of the UAE. |
