Upon the requests of three operators, the National Regulatory Authority for Communications (ANRC) changed the licences they held for the use of numbering resources.
The company Aietes Telecom Galati Filiala Tulcea S.R.L. received 380,000 national geographic numbers within the 0Z=03 domain, in the form of 38 blocks of 10,000 numbers, for Bucharest and 37 counties, in addition to the numbering resources from the same domain allotted in the beginning, for the Braila, Galati and Tulcea counties. The basic form of the numbers is 031 760xxxx for Bucharest and 03AB 76xxxx for the counties (where AB is the county’s prefix).
S.C. Binet S.R.L. from Bucharest requested the modification of the licence, after the change of the company’s name into S.C. Parlatel S.R.L. Following the update, the annex of the licence, referring to the numbering resources allotted to this operator, has the same content.
S.C. Romtelecom S.A. requested and received 10 additional blocks of 1,000 numbers with national coverage within the 0Z = 08 domain for the provision of Internet access services. The basic form of these numbers is 0870 22xxxx. Also, the operator received 20,000 national non-geographic numbers for premium rate services within the 0Z= 09 domain, from which 10 blocks of numbers type 0903 90 xxxx will be used for services within the category of general, business and marketing information, and 10 blocks of numbers type 0906 90xxxx – for services within the adults entertainment category.
The new licence extended with 6 months the period when Romtelecom can use certain blocks of numbers. Thus, Romtelecom can use until June 30, 2004, the blocks of numbers: 021 800xxxx, 021 801xxxx, 021 802xxxx, employed at this moment for the provision of certain free of charge services, which are to be provided based on the numbering within the 0Z = 08 domain starting July 1, 2004, in conformity with the provisions of the National Numbering Plan. Until June 30, 2004, Romtelecom will also free the blocks of numbers: 021 891xxxx, 021 892xxxx, 021 893xxxx, 021 894xxxx, 021 895xxxx, 021 896xxxx, 021 897xxxx, 021 898xxxx, 021 899xxxx (in Bucharest), 02AB89xxxx (in the counties) and 08989xxxxx (national), employed at this moment for the provision of certain types of services with special tariff (Premium Rate). Starting July 1, 2004 these services will be provided based on the numbering within the 0Z = 09 domain.
