telecommunications networks

The Supreme Council of Information and Communication Technology, ictQATAR, is conducting a public consultation on its proposed Type Approval Policy for Radio Equipment and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (RTTE). The aim of the proposed policy is to improve the level of efficiency and transparency of the current type approval process, while removing unnecessary administrative burdens on importers and manufacturers and to better facilitate competition in the choice and supply of RTTE. ictQATAR holds the authority to set RTTE Type Approval regime under Telecommunications Law no. 34 of 2006.

Interconnection Service Charges Determined Interconnection of telecommunications networks allows users of these networks to communicate with each other.

The interconnection service charges comprise the costs of the interconnection service, including the cost for terminating a call or an SMS on a network. These interconnection charges must not be confused with the retail charges which are paid by the customer to their telecommunications service provider for a service or subscription.
