Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) has temporarily withdrawn an order issued against leading mobile operators Robi and Banglalink to stop their telecommunication value-added services (TVAS).
The regulator had issued the order earlier on Monday after a probe revealed that subscribers were being charged for the service by the operators without their knowledge.
“We spoke to both mobile operators and they admitted to their faults and vowed to rectify the matter. They have been informed about the temporary withdrawal of the order,” BTRC Chairman Shyam Sunder Sikder, reports bdnews24.com.
Content providers of Robi and Banglalink, however, will not be affected by the move, according to Sikder.
“This is an important issue as many services, including news alerts, are provided through it. We have given them until the next commission meeting to resolve it. We’ll make the final decision once the problems are solved,” he said.
