23 March 2011
The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) announced today that it has extended the deadline for 2Connect W.L.L. to cease all telecommunications services to the 23rd of April, 2011.

"The deadline has been extended by TRA in order to allow all customers of 2Connect to smoothly transition their services to another operator of choice" said Ahmed Aldoseri, TRA's Director of Information and Communications Technologies. He continued to note that TRA "is committed to the continuity of the telecommunication services of businesses operating in the Kingdom of Bahrain, and will endeavor to avoid any disruption to the communications of such businesses".

To this end, TRA has met with a number of local and international partners of 2Connect to provide necessary guidance and support, and has communicated with many customers on how they can best achieve replacement connectivity within the shortest amount of time possible.
