The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) revealed details of plans for infrastructure expansion in the telecommunications sector, improving service quality, upgrading basic indicators for evaluating the quality and prices of telecommunications services in Oman, and reviewing investments over the last five years at a meeting on Sunday.
By 2025, TRA also plans to have 85% of buildings covered by fixed broadband networks, and 100% of stations supporting fourth and fifth generation networks, according to an executive program.
