MNOs to offer 4G services mid-August

Vodafone, Orange, and Etisalat will begin offering 4G services to customers mid-August, an unnamed National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) source tells Al Shorouk. The companies are currently distributing frequencies among them nationwide. The NTRA source noted that the deadline for them to reach an agreement over the redistribution is the first week of August. Telecom Egypt, on the other hand, is scheduled to launch its mobile services in September, CEO Ahmed El Behery says, according to Al Shorouk. The state-owned land-line monopoly is currently preparing to provide 3G and 4G services.
