The Ministry of Information and Communication said yesterday that all the necessary processes, including consultations with the legislative body, have been completed and the guidelines could be available by as early as July 20. ``We are trying to make the guidelines and evaluation system as comprehensive and transparent as possible,'' said one ministry official, adding that it will specifically include the number of operators is been known to be three. Accordingly, the basic information will be made available in July with another policy debate taking place the next day before the final consultation with the National Assembly is held July 18. ``The extra procedures are designed to prevent any side effects of the selection process which will certainly lead to huge investments,'' the official explained. While the official guidelines are not set, most of the important details have already been made known to applicants and the public, including the fact that the government will not place a restriction on the technology to be used. The official said the guidelines will include, among other things, the size of contribution to a government frequency fund, the details of major shareholders and the scope of services such as digital content.
