Etisalat, Du seek TRA approval for tariff reduction

The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) has received applications from the UAE’s two telecoms operators Etisalat and Du to reduce their call and data tariffs. Emirates 24/7 cites a report by Arabic daily Al Khaleej as saying that a joint committee comprising TRA members and representatives from the two operators is currently discussing the issue. The proposals follow several recent surveys that indicated a demand for lower call rates, particularly for international calls.
