We were awarded a Rural Telecommunication Service license from Nepal Telecommunications Authority to setup a rural network with 1068 PCOs using VSAT technology in Eastern Development Region. During the initial phase, the telecom penetration in Nepal was around 1.4% with more than 2150 VDCs deprived of telephone services.
