According to a report in Arabic daily Emarat Al Youm, the authority said that failure to obtain a licence, will subject a user to the amended Article 71 of the Telecommunications Act.
This includes imprisonment for a period not exceeding two years and/or a fine of not less than Dh50,000 and not more than Dh1million.
