5G licence auction faces delay due to technicalities
The planned fifth generation (5G) licence auction on the 2600-megahertz spectrum is likely to be put off to 2018 due to a lack of well-designed frequency valuation principles and the transition to a new telecom regulatory body. The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) initially planned to auction 80MHZ of bandwidth on the 2600MHz spectrum in September this year. The spectrum is currently licensed to MCOT Plc.
