Saudi Arabian communications minister Muhammad Jameel Mulla has announced that the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) plans to issue three mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) licences in early-2012, whilst confirming that the regulator does not intend to open the market for a fourth player. ArabNews.com quotes the communications chief as saying: ‘Virtual communications services do not require any new network … We don't have any plan to license a new company to provide cell phone service’. Although rumours that the MCIT intended to endorse the entrance of MVNOs into the sector have circulated since 2009, Mulla’s announcement marks the first formal acknowledgment of the watchdog’s plan.
