The National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA) in Egypt has removed unlicensed wireless networks in major areas in Giza governorate, the watchdog said. Unlicensed networks had a negative impact on the quality of telecom services in Haram, Faisal, Kirdasa and the surrounding areas. This resulted in quality issues in terms of voice and data transfer services. Service levels were consequently boosted at such areas, according to the measurements conducted by NTRA post removal. In fact, this step comes in line with the NTRA’s role to govern and regulate the telecom market as well as improve the levels of service provided for users.Many users living in Haram, Faisal, and Kirdasa complained about poor service quality in these areas.
