Jerusalem, 31 August, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The Ministry of Communications released a new hearing to update criteria for financial sanctions against telecommunications companies. The initiative simplifies administrative enforcement, accelerates resolution times, and prevents firms from profiting from license violations. Designed to enhance transparency and regulatory deterrence, the framework safeguards public interest and consumer rights.

Sanctions will now be calculated using two streamlined primary metrics:

Impact Severity: Evaluates damage to core regulatory protections, such as market competition, consumer safety, and service continuity.

Violation Scope: Measures the physical extent of the infraction, considering its duration, total affected subscribers, and overall financial damage.
