[ame] Bahrain's Telecommunications Regulatory Authority has fined Bahrain Telecommunications (Batelco) for preventing other operators from accessing the country's international data lines, Reuters has reported. Batelco had refused to supply space to other operators to gain access to the kingdom's only connection to the international phone network which is located on Batelco's premises. The fine could increase or decrease depending on Batelco's response to an order to provide access to other operators, for which it has 30 days, the regulator said.
