After having a discussion with experts and stakeholders, Parliaments Finance committee decides on NTC 4G case. They also give 4 points directives to Ntc and Ministry MoCIT for Nepal Telecom’s 4G expansion project.
As there was much concern on the Nepal Telecom 4G expansion project among MPs, the finance committee held a discussion among MPs and respective stakeholders. Some MPs questioned the huge amount (around 18 billion) for NTC 4G expansion if it can be done at a much lesser amount (around 4 billion). One of the opinions was to go for 5G instead of 4G.
Some MPs also expressed their view to delve into Ntc business plan for 4G service expansion all over the country with such a huge investment.
There were equal voices from MPs for not to obstruct the NTC 4G project in the name of such non-experts opinion. Being a technical matter, they also opined to consult with experts before deciding on the matter. Third party evaluation for the project was also discussed.
