This decision from the regulatory body in the telecom sector, which thus grants positive feedback to a request made by Orange Cameroun by correspondence dated 6 June 2016, should enable the number 2 in the mobile telephone market in the country to save starting from next year. As, we learned, mobile operators operating in the country pay according to the regulations the sum of FCfa 180 per year to the regulatory body, for every telephone number allocated to them. Based on this calculation, by returning 400,000 numbers to ART, Orange Cameroun should save about FCfa 72 million starting from 2017. According to our sources, the groups of numbers which will thus be returned are part of the 700,000 numbers requested by Orange Cameroun in 2012. Hence the decision from Orange Cameroun to return them to the regulatory body.
