The LTA order established floor prices and surcharge for on-net voice calls and data, after Orange Liberia, a GSM service provider, declared the act unconstitutional. Orange Liberia is challenging the legality of the LTA’s action. Orange Liberia said the House of Representatives, through its committee on Posts and Telecommunication, cited the LTA to a meeting. During that meeting, Orange Liberia claimed that lawmakers instructed LTA to provisionally cut off imposing additional surcharge on all local calls until the Board of Commissioners held a consultation meeting. However, up to the filing of the lawsuit against LTA, Orange Liberia said, the consultation meeting had not been held.
