According to the recent announcement by the ministry, the four new orders include:

2) Borey owners must prepare the location for the construction of the antenna station within their borey or prepare the poles for cable transmission if required.

3) High-rise building owners must cooperate with telecommunication companies to install In-building Solutions.

It should also be noted that the ministry has been working to complete legal documents related to the penalties in case telecommunications companies or project owners disobey the regulations.
