The UAE telecoms regulator has denied rumors that a third telecom operator is under consideration saying in a statement that both Etisalat and du are currently meeting the needs of the UAE market.

H.E. Majed Al Mesmar, TRA Deputy Director General said, "The TRA sees no need to add a new operator to the UAE market at this time; hence it has no immediate intention to do so. What was circulated in few local newspapers is misleading and does not accurately express the actual statements of the TRA regarding the issue."
