The Regulatory Board may give any licensee a period of time to comply with any
modification which causes undue hardship. The licensee shall be required to demonstrate that
he / she is suffering from undue hardship.

Regulatory Board has the right to make such modifications if it considers appropriate to do
so, having regard to the provisions of this Law and the avoidance of granting undue

Article 10
Certain telecommunications networks and telecommunications services do not require a
telecommunications license.
Acting solely on a proposal from the Regulatory Board, the Minister specifies in a
Ministerial decree the circumstances in which such a license is not required.
Article 11
The Regulatory Board must publish details of fees to be levied by it for telecommunications
licenses.
The fees may be charged:
1° for license applications, whether or not the application is successful;
2° for initially issuing the license;
3° on a periodic basis to permit continuation of the license;
4° for renewal of the license on expiry.
The same or similar licenses should have the same or similar fees or the fees should be
computed on the same or a similar basis.
The Regulatory Board may from time to time amend the fees applicable to different types of
licenses. Revised charges are applied to all licenses of the same type.
Details of fees for licenses and any changes to these are published in the Official Gazette.
License fees are paid to the Regulatory Board office. Failure to pay the fee results in delay in
issuing the license in the first place or suspension of the license if any periodic fee is not paid
within four weeks of the commencement of each period. The Regulatory Board must then
issue a notice of temporary suspension of the license.
Article 12
The Regulatory Board keeps and updates a register of matters concerning the
operation of the Regulatory Board. The Minister, by Ministerial decree make provision for
the contents of the register.
