“We have submitted a letter to the minister, asking him to let us know who is affected, when and who will be monitored for using bugging devices in accordance with the law. We are expecting rules and regulations for the use of bugging devices,” the CEO said, noting that bugging should be allowed in obvious cases such as monitoring violent offenders.
Telenor always obeys the law in every country where it operates, and the laws need to be clear, said Furberg.
“Telenor will protect everybody. Using bugging devices can stop big crimes sometimes,” he said.
Some local newspapers and journals have recently reported that Ooredoo plans to stop using bugging devices on its mobile phone subscribers.
The government chose Telenor and Ooredoo as telecom operators last June. Now that the telecommunications bylaw has passed, they are expecting to receive licences before year’s end.
Both companies said they would start selling SIM cards and offer their services eight months after they are granted the licences. Their services are expected to be ready by mid-2014.
Telenor is currently in discussions with other telecommunication companies to establish its network and is planning to invite distributors for its SIM cards.
