TRC licenses Jordanian company to install fibre-optic grid

AMMAN — The Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (TRC) on Tuesday granted two companies licences to install fibre optics and provide general telecommunications services.

TRC Chief Commissioner Ghazi Jbour said that the TRC granted a licence to Al Nafath Arab Company to install fibre optic cables from Amman through Zarqa to the Iraqi border, linking up with the fibre line inside Iraq, according to a TRC statement.

Jbour said that the licences will enable the Kingdom to export telecommunication services to neighbouring countries and enhance its international role in data transfer via the Internet.

The TRC also granted a licence to the Arab Mashriq Space for Technology company to provide telecommunication services.
