KATHMANDU, Sept 27: Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA) has removed the provision ‘private sector telecommunication companies will come under the ownership of the Government of Nepal after 25 years' from the bill made to amend the Telecommunications Act. This draft has been sent back to the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (MoCIT) with the aim of benefiting private-sector telecommunications service providers.
The ban late last year came after an almost year-long investigation that concluded that the users had close connections to "external parties", and that these links were a source of "serious concern for the safety" of users, said the Wikimedia Foundation. Beirut-based digital rights group SMEX and human rights group Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN) said that Saudi authorities had recruited Wikipedia's most reputed administrators in the country to control information about the kingdom.
