Concern over the well-being of the equipment

Nta has also expressed concern over the well-being of the equipment as its held at customs. “If such sensitive devices remain in customs for a long time without use, they could bear damages.” Likewise, if the project doesn’t complete on time, the state and the consumers won’t receive the benefits from the project, Nta adds.

An experienced tech writer covering news mostly on telecommunication, internet, latest tech & trends, and Gadgets. Being a technophile, I am particularly fascinated by the evolution of mobile networks in Nepal from legacy networks (2G, 3G) to 4G (with VoLTE, VoWiFi, eSIM) and the prospects of the upcoming 5G, and equally enthralled by the development of internet from the dial-up connection to the 2 Gbps XGS-PON fiber broadband technology and their transformative impact in the country.
