KATHMANDU, DECEMBER 1: Some 30 Internet Service Providers (ISPs), which impose hefty charges on customers, are found to be indulged in fraudulent activities. Such activities are refusal to contribute to the Rural Telecommunication Development Fund, evasion of royalties and denial to submitting audited financial reports.
As per the rules of the Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA), they should contribute two percent towards the Rural Telecommunication Development Fund and an additional six percent in the form of royalty.
Issuing a public notice today, the NTA once again asked them to fulfill their obligations within seven days.
