Muscat: Oman's Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) announced on Saturday that it has issued five mobile reseller licences as part of a move intended to further liberalise telecom services in the sultanate.
The regulatory watchdog named the new licensees as Injaz International, Kalam Telecom, Majan Telecom, Mazoon Mobile and Arab Link. All five firms receive five-year licences that are extendable if they comply with their licence obligations.

The five resellers will essentially piggyback on incumbent mobile operators Oman Mobile and Nawras to provide a range of basic mobile services either under the brand names of the host operators or as rebranded products.
The new licencees are expected to launch their products and services only later this year after formal tie-ups with either of the host operators.
