KATHMANDU, July 13: After the revocation of Smart Telecom's license, the anticipated tender process for its asset management and license sale has hit a roadblock. Despite the government taking ownership of Smart Telecom and initiating a global tender process for its license sale, the process is yet to commence. The asset management committee, headed by Gokarna Mani Sitaula, a member of the board of directors of Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA), had intended to call for the tender. However, sources within the NTA indicate that the process remains stagnant.
