10 August 2011
On 27 August 2010, the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts ("MICA") conducted a public consultation on the proposed amendments to the Telecommunications Act (the "Act"). Amongst others, MICA sought public comments on proposed revisions to Part VA of the Act, which sets out the legislative obligations for mergers and acquisitions in the telecommunications sector.
Arising from the proposed revisions to Part VA of the Act, IDA has reviewed Section 10 of the Telecom Competition Code (the "Code") and is preparing to make consequential amendments to: (1) Section 10 of the Code; (2) the Advisory Guidelines Governing Consolidation Review Process under Section 10 of the Code; and (3) the Advisory Guidelines Governing Tender Offer Process under Section 10 of the Code.
IDA is now seeking the views and comments from the industry and members of the public on the proposed Section 10 of the Code and the proposed Telecom Consolidation and Tender Offer Guidelines. IDA will finalise the two documents after Part VA of the Act has been enacted by Parliament.
All views and comments should be submitted in writing and in both hard and soft copies (preferably in Microsoft Word or PDF format), and should reach IDA before 12 noon on 21 September 2011. Respondents are required to include their personal or company particulars, correspondence address, contact number and email address in their submissions. All comments should be addressed to:
