Zain Jordan calls for regulating SMS, VoIP apps
- Jordan: Tuesday, February 19 - 2013 at 04:04
The Jordanian unit of Kuwait's Zain has said the local market does not need a fourth mobile operator, as the number of mobile subscribers already exceeds that of the population, Jordan Times has reported. Last month, the Telecoms Regulatory Commission said three local companies showed interest in obtaining licences to provide mobile telecoms, a move that Zain Jordan opposed. "The already existing companies face challenges in terms of higher electricity costs and a drop in revenues generated from voice services, international calls and from SMSs," said Zain Jordan's chief executive, Ahmad Al Hanandeh. "International SMSs for example is a dying business as mobile holders download apps from the internet such as WhatsApp and others, connect to the internet and make international calls and send SMSs for free," he explained, calling for regulating the commercial use of such apps.
