Monrovia – Telecoms giant Orange has petitioned the Civil Law court at the Temple of Justice to review a recent mandate by the Liberia Telecommunications Authority which calls for new tariffs on voice and data. Report by Augustine T. Tweh-00231775524647 / [email protected]According to the petition for judicial review, Orange claims that LTA does not have the legal authority to impose the floor price and surcharges on telecoms company. LTA’s new regulation – Order: 0016-02-25-19 – establishes price floors for On-Net Voice and Data services and a regulatory fee on telecommunication goods and services. The new floor price would eventually lead to cancellation of the three days free calls. The new floor price is set at US$0.0218 per megabyte.
