The Office of the Telecommunications and Radiocommunications Regulator (TRR) wishes to inform all licensees and the general public that TRR, on 30th April 2014, revoked the telecommunications licence issued on 22 September 2009 to the Vanuatu Rural Training Development Centers Association (VRTDCA) for its project “Yumi Konek Project” (Licensee).

All Licensees are required under the terms and conditions of their licences, and also under the TRR Act 2009, to fulfil their obligations, including the utilization of their licence, payment of licence fees, UAP levy fees and the provision of services. This revocation has come into effect after TRR has conducted a licence review audit on all licensees; especially those licensees that, since obtaining their licence, have not utilized their licence nor provided for the past four (4) years. Yumi Konek is one such licencee.

Following 30 days’ notice and enquiries made by TRR, and confirmation being received from VRTDCA that the Yumi Konek Project is now not operating, and has not done so for over 3 year,  VRTDCA agreed to the revocation of its licence.

After considering clause 4.1 and 4.2 of the licence and VRTDCA written agreement for revocation, TRR made a Revocation Order on 30th April 2014 to that effect.  Accordingly, the VRTDCA licence is no longer valid.
