Mobile network operators (MNOs) officially brought the new scratch card prices into effect yesterday and sent out large shipments to local distributors, Al Mal reports. Local distributors had alleged last week that MNOs were withholding new shipments to clear out market inventory before the new pricing system came into effect. The National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority announced earlier this month that the value of airtime charged on cards would be lowered by 36% while leaving face values unchanged.
