The Bahraini  Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (TRA) has invited proposals to assist in defining the methodology for the introduction of Local Loop Unbundling (LLU) in the country. Batelco (Bahrain Telecommunications Company) lost its 23-year monopoly on the fixed line market in July 2004, but so far has faced only limited competition from operators which purchase its wholesales services. ‘This move is an essential enabler of further competition at the retail level, especially for the provision of high speed broadband’, said TRA’s General Director Alan Horne. The deadline for receipt of the proposals is 16 September’08.
