Chaudary Group (CG) to enter into Telecom sector.

Chaudhary Group, one of the biggest business house of Nepal (popular for electronic products and food/beverages) is all set to enter the telecom market with the brand name CG tel. After acquiring 80 percent Shares of the American company STM Telecommunication Services, CG tel is eager to launch their services within six months. 20 percent share of STM Telecom Sanchar is owned by a Nepali company named AR investment.

STM telecommunication has been running rural telephones in villages of about 50 districts and has the largest PCO network in Nepal under the name "Gramintel". They are also providing services like tele-medicince, international calls, tele-centre in the rural areas, and have a subscriber base of about 5350 (according to NTA latest MIS). STM telecom had also applied for the unified license to NTA (Nepalese Telecommunication Authority) which if they get, allows them to operate different telecom services through a single license, with huge license fee of Rs 377.5 million. Though NTA is examining the applicants for the unified license, the regulatory body won't be able to do the big decision in the absence of their Chairman (whose appointment is stayed by Supreme court) plus there is a case under scrutiny against the unified license.

Chaudhary Group was very keen in investing in the telecom sector from many years but due to unavailability of enough frequency spectrum and huge license fee for new operator, they were mum to wait for amicable time. And this unified license fulfills their awaited desire and will enable them to use many telecom services like GSM, CDMA through a single license. 

Nepal Telecom signs a deal for 5.2 Million more GSM lines with Huawei.

WiMax distribution for general users within a week.

Nepal Telecom's WiMAX is ready to be distributed for general customers but it is known that it will be possible after some days and we have to wait till NT formally announces the date. Previously we have posted a news regarding the launching of WiMax for home users within second week of March but due to some works remaining with the billing and USB Dongle, there is some delay in WiMAX distribution for general users, which is almost solved now. 

According to them,it seems like the launching of WiMax for general customers will be made within a week, until the billing gets ready and surplus amount of USB dongle gets available through two outsourced companies. Nepal Telecom has made a deal with two companies Airmax Technology and Unitech Network, which are responsible for the distribution of the internet lines and are ready to open more counters through out. They will be opening 14 counters in Kathmandu alone, of which 4 counters will be made available soon to distribute CPE (Customer Premises Equipment), a.k.a USB dongle and WiMAX service to the customers. The USB dongle will be priced at Rs 5500 and the least data package costs around Rs 650 for 5 GB. 

Nepal Telecom intends to provide WiMax and Wi-fi hot spots service through out the country (VDCs and municipalities) within this year 2013. Total Capacity of Wimax lines is known to be 200,000 (2 lakh) subscribers, which will be increased if the demand goes above it.

Load-shedding hours to be reduced

The load-shedding hours have been unofficially reduced, according to the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA).

Before this, the NEA had increased the load-shedding hours to 97 a week effective from January 19. The period of power outage before this was 84 hours a week since December 26, 2012. 

Chief of the power dispatch centre at NEA, Bhuwan Kumar Chhetri, said that the load-shedding hours have been reduced on a trial basis without issuing the load-shedding schedule after the supply of 25 Megawatt power from India was resumed.

Chhetri said that the load-shedding timetable could be changed looking at the supply of electricity by India.

14-hr daily outage from today

                              

HIMALAYAN NEWS SERVICE

KATHMANDU: The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has formally decided to increase the daily power outage to 14 hours from 12 hours.

Owing to ‘a 30 MW decrease in import from India and shrinking water level in rivers due to the dry season’, the NEA has decided to increase the power outage hours from 84 hours per week to 97 hours per week. The new load-shedding schedule will take effect from tomorrow.

The NEA had enforced a 12-hour daily outage on December 26.

In the worst case, the daily power outage is expected to reach up to 18 hours. However, it depends on the precipitation by mid-May. The melting of the snow or rainfall are other factors that will determine the power outage hours in the days ahead. Currently, there is a shortfall of over 500 MW.

Introduction

Nepal officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, is a landlocked country in South Asia and the world's youngest republic. It is bordered to the north by the People's Republic of China, and to the south, east, and west by the Republic of India. With an area of 147,181 square kilometers (56,827 sq mi) and a population of approximately 30 million, Nepal is the world's 93rd largest country by land mass and the 41st most populous country. Kathmandu is the nation's capital and the country's largest metropolitan city.

Nepal is a country of highly diverse and rich geography, culture, and religions. The mountainous north has eight of the world's ten highest mountains, including the highest, Mount Everest. The fertile and humid south is heavily urbanized. By some measures, Hinduism is practiced by a greater majority of people in Nepal than in any other nation. Buddhism, though a minority faith in the country, is linked historically with Nepal as the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama, who as the Buddha Gautama gave birth to the Buddhist tradition. About half of the population live below the international poverty line of US$1.25 a day.

A monarchy throughout most of its history, Nepal was ruled by the Shah dynasty of kings from 1768, when Prithvi Narayan Shah unified its many small kingdoms. However, a decade-long People's Revolution by the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) along with several weeks of mass protests by all major political parties of Nepal in 2006, culminated in a peace accord and the ensuing elections for the constituent assembly voted overwhelmingly in favor of the abdication of the last Nepali monarch Gyanendra Shah and the establishment of a federal democratic republic in May 28, 2008. The first President of Nepal, Ram Baran Yadav, was sworn in on 23 July 2008.
