The talks took place during the 17th coordination meeting wherein Dr Hamed bin Salim al Rawahi executive president of Oman's Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) received Hamad Obaid al Mansoori director general of UAE's TRA. 'The purpose of the UAE delegation's visit to Oman was to discuss interference and coverage over-spilling into the borders of the two countries. It also aims to intensify collaboration on matters of mutual interest for both regulators' the TRA had said in a statement.

The coordination meeting also discussed among other topics an agreement on a technical mechanism to operate 4G mobile network at the borders which will reduce the overspill and interference. This meeting was held under the Telecommunications Bureau of the GCC Secretariat General.
