According to the resolution, TDRA may impose administrative violations and penalties and

through a number of a fixed or mobile phone that is licensed in the name of such, will be subject
to a fine of Dh 5,000 and in addition to suspending all numbers of fixed or mobile phones that
are registered under the natural person’s name until the payment of the outstanding fine
amount. The penalty shall be increased to Dh 20,000, in addition to cutting all numbers of fixed
or mobile phones that are registered under the natural person’s name for three months in case
such person commits the same violation within 30 days from the date of signing of the first
administrative penalty. It will become Dh 50,000 and any service from the telecommunications
companies that are licensed in the State will be denied for 12 twelve months in case this person
