TRA's Chairman of the Board of Directors Mr. Mohammed Ahmed Al Amer said:
"The approved 2009 fees have been adjusted and will assist the smaller telecommunications companies in these difficult financial times. Further they will encourage the larger companies who use significant spectrum and telephone numbers to efficiently utilize theses scarce resources."


TRA's General Director Mr. Alan Horne said: "TRA has an objective to rebalance its charges to reflect actual costs associated with its main regulatory activities. It is also important that Licensees use the scarce resources of spectrum, rights of way over land and numbers wisely."

TRA's 2009 schedule of fees will be presented and discussed with the industry at the end of year review meeting which will be held at 9:30 on Thursday 27 November 2008 at the Crown Plaza Hotel. The review meeting will cover achievements during 2008 and planned actions for 2009.
