He mentioned that the company is fulfilling its responsibility by expanding its services in the rural areas while embracing the policy of transparency. “This will prove that we are not only profit-oriented,” he added.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">According to him, the construction of infrastructure including roads, drinking water and sewerage pipes cause damage to the infrastructure of the company with cables which are built with huge investment. “This has increased the expenses of the company, he said.”</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The regulatory body Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA) has recently decided to reduce the pulse rate. For this, the pulse rate will be reduced to 10 seconds from the existing 20 seconds from mid- April and one second in the second phase six months later.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">According to Pokhrel, Telecom has already implemented the first phase pulse rate and therefore, it is not going to affect the company’s income for the time being. “However, the pulse rate which is going to implement after six months will definitely affect the income of company, he said.”</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Likewise, Lochan Lal Amatya, Chief Technical Officer (CTO) of NT mentioned that investment will not be made for the expansion of Wi-Max and CDMA from now onwards.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">“We are now focused on expanding 4G rapidly,” he said, while stating that therefore, these services will be phased out within the next three to four years.” However, the equipment already purchased for these services will be installed regularly.</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2017-03-21', 'modified' => '2017-03-21', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '5335', 'image' => '20170321051119_nt.jpg', 'article_date' => '2017-03-21 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 10 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '5549', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => '6th Nepal International Trade Fair Concludes', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'Mar 21, 2017- The five day long 6th Nepal International Trade Fair 2017 that started on March 16 has concluded on March 20, recording business transactions worth Rs 180 million.', 'content' => '<p style="text-align: justify;">Mar 21, 2017- The five day long 6th Nepal International Trade Fair 2017 that started on March 16 has concluded on March 20, recording business transactions worth Rs 180 million.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">According to Keshav Pandey, Chairman of Organiser’s Committee, the fair drew more than 200,000 visitors during the five days event. “The fair provided platform for domestic and foreign traders to promote their goods and sign business deals,” he said.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">As per the organizer, the fair showcased agricultural products grown at high altitude and herbal products from Nepal. 340 stalls including domestic and foreign companies showcased their products in the fair.
