Overview

What This Service Covers

Telecommunications licensing is class-specific. Company Darta supports service-category assessment, study inputs and NTA coordination for the applicable telecommunications licence route.

What Our Service Includes

  • Service-category assessment, study inputs and NTA coordination within the agreed engagement.
  • A review of the intended service, coverage, technology, operating model, ownership and technical team against the relevant current category.
  • Coordination of the agreed application route and NTA follow-up; NTA retains the licence and category decisions.

Who It Is For

  • Businesses seeking a telecommunications service licence, including internet, network and other service-category applicants.
  • Applicants needing to determine the correct licence category before committing to category-specific technical, capital or study requirements.

What Is Not Assumed

  • There is no single universal telecom licence.
  • Company Darta does not provide network design, spectrum planning, spectrum allocation or equipment type-approval services unless separately agreed.
  • Capital, fees, royalty, term, renewal and technical criteria depend on the current licence category and NTA requirements.

KEY ROUTE DECISIONS FOR TELECOMMUNICATION LICENSING

  • Intended audience: Telecom service applicants.
  • Primary authority or route: Nepal Telecommunications Authority.
  • Core route definition: Telecommunications licensing is class-specific. Company Darta supports service-category assessment, study inputs and NTA coordination for the applicable telecommunications licence route.
  • Main dependency: Licence-category availability, technical study readiness, public notices, foreign-investment steps and NTA examination.
Why It Matters

Doing It Yourself vs. Working With Us

Without Professional Help

  • You identify the licence category, prepare the required economic and technical study materials and manage NTA applications and queries yourself.
  • You establish the current category-specific ownership, capital, technical expertise and professional-experience requirements directly.
  • You monitor any public-notice route, respond to NTA requests and plan recurring licence obligations yourself.

With Company Darta Nepal

  • You receive agreed category, study-input and coordination support. NTA assesses the application and decides whether to issue the licence.
  • You receive an agreed checklist that separates service-category assessment, study inputs and application coordination from excluded network or spectrum work.
  • You receive coordination updates for the selected route while providing the current entity, ownership, technical and work-plan information requested.
