Bangladeshi mobile operators GrameenPhone, Banglalink, Robi and CityCell have refused to pay outstanding fees for their licence renewals worth a combined BDT8.57 billion (USD101 million) until they receive certified copies of a High Court verdict on a related case contested by GrameenPhone and the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC). As reported by The Daily Star, the four operators were issued the licence renewal demands on 10 November 2011 and have since accrued additional late fees – which the BTRC says it has no authority to waive, in response to the cellcos’ pleas. GrameenPhone has submitted a query on the regulator’s most recent demand for full payment of late fees, while Banglalink has requested a discussion with the BTRC over the financial issues
