BRUNEI , 2015/04/01
Consumers are set to benefit from significant changes in Brunei Darussalam’s telecoms market due to moves by the sector regulator to eliminate mobile termination and incoming call charges, amongst other measures.
On March 3rd, the Authority for Info-communications Technology Industry (AITI) announced plans to rationalise tariffs to ensure a level playing field between mobile operators.
The changes, which become effective at the end of March, include directives requiring local mobile providers to adopt the so-called Sender-Keeps-All (SKA) interconnection regime, which eliminates mobile termination charges, allowing existing players and new entrants to compete on an equal footing. “The different pricing arrangement has become a barrier to inter-operator communications. Subscribers of the major player would be reluctant to call subscribers of a smaller player due to the higher rates imposed,” said the body.

Rural areas of Brunei Darussalam, which have long faced problems with data and communications technology (ICT) services, are set to benefit from a move to align the Sultanate’s bandwidth with that of its regional neighbours.
The decision to replace mobile frequency bands comes as the Sultanate prepares to hand out 4G long-term evolution (LTE) licences. However, despite the wave of activity taking place across the telecoms sector, there are concerns that the joint roaming agreement could fail to produce results for the country, unless tariffs are revised downwards to levels nearer those of its regional peers.
