ISPs Skip Monthly Report Submission to NTA
Notice (8): Undefined index: caption [APP/View/Articles/view.ctp, line 241]

June 14: Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are neglecting the regulation of submitting monthly customer report to Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA). Among 40 licensed ISPs operating in Nepal, 22 have not submitted any report so far while remaining companies are also irregular on submitting the report.

“Maintenance of customers’ statistics of such companies has been difficult,” informs NTA. According to the statistics of NTA, 23 ISPs companies have submitted partial report whereas those submitting regular report are zero. NTA publishes monthly report of internet service seekers and numbers of customers based on the report submitted by the companies. “It is a duty of the companies to submit demanded report to NTA,” says Min Prasad Aryal, spokesperson of NTA. “ISPs should be responsible toward submitting monthly report to NTA.”

NTA data reveals that in the period of 12 months from 2071 Falgun To 2072 Magh, only 9 service providers has submitted partial reports. In the review period, Sustainable Network and Classic have submitted report of 8 and 4 months respectively. Similarly, Worldlink, Websurfer, Subisu, Netmax and Vianet have submitted reports of three months each. Besides, Broadlink and Mercantile have submitted report of 1 month only. Other companies that have submitted partial report have not submitted a single report in the review period. “It is ISP service providers’ weakness not to submit regular report to NTA,” accepts Suman Lal Pradhan, Chairman of Internet Service Providers’ Association of Nepal (ISPAN). He adds “ISPs should be responsible; there is no doubt on it. I will take initiation on that matter as of official duty.”
