The Pakistani government is reviewing its 5G spectrum auction policy to prioritize faster rollout and infrastructure development.
The revised strategy focuses on accelerating nationwide 5G deployment rather than maximizing upfront fees.
The government is considering a model similar to Saudi Arabia's no-cost license approach, aiming to facilitate universal coverage within two to five years.
The new policy aims to allocate more resources to network infrastructure, technology upgrades, and improved service delivery, unlocking benefits in key sectors like education and healthcare.
