After delays of over a year, Islamic Republic of Iran has reportedly awarded a third base national mobile meshing license. According to Reuters, the state-owned Tamin Telecom with its consortium North Korean won the play for permission and is hopeful its SIM card game “will reach the market in the course of the stream year.”

The reports say the license is for GSM services and also includes a two-class exclusive trade for 3G services.

Tamin along with UAE-based Etisalat originally won a bid in January 2009 to operate the a people’s third base national mobile meshing. However, at that distributor point they failed to meet obligations and blue runner-up Zain was awarded the deal. Unfortunately, that trade also later fell apart.

If everything goes well this time, Tamin will be competing with market leader MCI and MTN Irancell. In summation to national operators, Islamic Republic of Iran also has regional carriers such as MTCE, Taliya and TKC.
