A company operating a vessel in Brunei waters found violating a section of the Telecommunications Order, 2001 was issued a warning notice and compound fine BND700 by the Authority for Info-communications Technology Industry of Brunei Darussalam (AITI). The company was found operating several radio-communication equipment and possessing a very small aperture terminal (VSAT) equipment on board the vessel without the licences, which is an offence under S35(1) of the Order.
The authority said unlicenced systems or services may cause interference to critical infrastructure and essential services, which may hinder day-to-day operations of government agencies, local service providers, educational institutions and businesses relying on telecommunications.
