There has been spreading through the local press and social networking websites, in relation to the mobile network coverage of a telecommunications company licensed in a neighbouring country, Bahrain’s telecom regulator in a statement said.
The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority said this coverage has been found in a number of GCC states in addition to Bahrain.
“The said mobile network coverage is not powerful enough to be used by the subscribers in Kingdom of Bahrain, and does not represent any threat to the citizens or residents of the Kingdom of Bahrain,” it added.
“The Authority is now working with concerned bodies in the Kingdom and in GCC states, and is coordinating with the International Telecommunications Union to resolve this issue.”
