Nepal Telecommunications Authority is going through one of its most challenging times. Successive corruption scandals—first MDMS and now Teramox—have shaken the institution to its core. With over a dozen officials suspended and major procurement decisions under investigation, regular operations have slowed down drastically. Employees are afraid to take decisions, and no new projects have moved forward in recent months. What was once envisioned as a driver of Nepal's digital transformation now stands still—trapped between fear, legal uncertainty, and policy confusion.
