The Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA) has invalidated the licence of three internet service providers.

The licence of the United Telecom Limited, Putalisadak, Kathmandu, Max Net Solution Pvt. Ltd., Koteshwor, Kathmandu and Chitwan Network Pvt. Ltd. was annulled for not getting their companies renewed timely, said the NTA Director and spokesperson Santosh Paudel.

The companies did not apply in time for getting their licences renewed, he said.

The NTA has also asked other companies of the same kind to timely make the payments and submit required details within 30 days for getting their licences renewed.

It has also warned of action as per existing laws in case of not following the directive.
