MNOs renew calls for NTRA to make additional frequencies available

Mobile network operators sent another request to the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) to make additional frequencies available for the current fiscal year, sources tell Amwal Al Ghad. MNOs have been making repeated requests to the NTRA, but sources say they are still waiting to hear back on NTRA’s proposed tender for a “limited set of bands” of additional 4G frequencies. Former ICT Minister Yasser El Kady had promised in June that MNOs would receive additional frequencies by August.
