Amid a huge audit dispute with regulators, the head of Norway's telecoms giant Telenor met prime minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday as its flagship subsidiary Grameenphone fights claims of hundreds of millions of dollars in "unpaid" revenue. Telenor CEO Jon Fredrik Baksaas was not originally scheduled to meet Sheikh Hasina but accompanied ambassador Ragne Birte Lund who had been "scheduled to call on the prime minister", PMO sources said. PM's press secretary Abul Kalam Azad only said the ambassador and the Telenor CEO discussed "matters of mutual interests". Azad did not give details. The meeting came in the wake of the raging dispute between the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission and largest operator Grameenphone over payment of Tk 3034 crore (over US$ 400 million). The BTRC sent a letter to GP on Oct 3 asking the operator to pay up the amount, calculated by the regulator-appointed auditors on the basis of what it said unpaid share of its revenue, accumulated interests and unpaid tax on SIM cards. The GP management has questioned the sums, saying the auditors lacked knowledge of the industry is leading to the confusion. GP said it was willing to discuss the issue only after withdrawal of the letter by the BTRC. Source
