The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission sits with the mobile phone operators today about the compliance of different promotional packages offered by the companies.
The BTRC move came after the commission had found some gross violations of promotional offers by some operators recently.The meeting will be held at the BTRC board room in the capital chaired by the commission chairman, Sunil Kanti Bose.
BTRC officials said the mobile phone companies had to design their promotional packages under the Interim Directive on Tariff and Marketing Promotion issued by the commission.
‘We will sit with the mobile operators to discuss the compliance status of their various promotional packages as we found some irregularities,’ said a BTRC official.
‘We will discuss about some specific promotional campaigns of different companies which we think needs clarification,’ he said.
The BTRC recently found that mobile phone company Robi was violating the promotional rules by offering holiday trips and television sets to its subscribers.
According to BTRC rules the mobile phone companies are barred from offering any reward to its subscribers other than free talk-time, SMS and mobile handset.
The industry operators said previously other mobile phone companies also offered holiday trips and luxurious items to the subscribers violating the BTRC rules.
