undergoes any direct or indirect change of ownership, notify that change in writing to the
Regulatory Board no later than one month after the change.

any other reason would adversely affect the development of telecommunications in the
Republic, including the development of competition, or the performance of its license
obligations, or the security of the Republic, the Regulatory Board revokes the license.

condition set out in a license for objective and transparent reasons, it makes representations to
the Regulatory Board in writing within seven working days from the date of the enforcement
notice. The Regulatory Board reviews the matter and either confirms or withdraws the
enforcement notice or gives a written waiver of compliance with the condition.
