It will cost up to 20 percent less to lease a line from MTEL Telecommunication Co Ltd than it costs to lease a line from the city’s only other fixed-line telecommunications company, Companhia de Telecomunicações de Macau SARL, a government official has said. Bureau of Telecommunications Regulation deputy director Hoi Chi Leong told reporters: “MTEL is offering its leased-line services, for which we have approved the tariff, for basically some 10 to 20 percent less than the current leased-line tariff in the market, depending on the type of package and speed of the service.” MTEL is due to begin leasing lines by December 3.
