Today, PTA has set the auction for the sale of 3G and 4G
Spectrum. One Telecom Company has bid the License for $425 Million. The
availability of 3G Spectrum will change the way we communicate and explore the
Virtual World of Internet.
PTA is expecting to earn $1 to $2 Billion. The Telecom
Companies are more interested in 3G spectrum instead of 4G as the current
frequency suits 3G.
4 Mobile Companies are participating in auction including
Mobilink Jazz, Ufone, Telenor and Zong, while Warid is not a part of this
Auction.
The current Auction is for 5 major cities of Pakistan
including Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi, Peshawar and Quetta. The Second Phase of
Auction will cover other 80 Cities. The Second Phase for the sale of 3G
Spectrum will start about 18 months later.
The launch of 3G will boost up Pakistani Telecom Sector and
will create about 10,000 of Telecom Jobs.
