On Thursday, fiber optic venture Unlimited applied to the Ministry of Communications for a new, revised license. The application rests on changes in the license that the ministry has already approved. The procedure is that the ministry places a new license for Unlimited "on the shelf", but the company must submit an application in order to receive it. The process of obtaining the license is expected to be completed within the next two to three months.
