Pakistan's telecom industry highlights key requirements for successful deployment of 5G services, including local currency transactions, flexible payment plans, reduced taxation, and sufficient spectrum availability in the 2600 MHz band.
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) collaborates with NERA to formulate a detailed policy for 5G spectrum allocation, considering financial stability, novel auction models, and connectivity improvement.
Operators advocate for tax reforms, handset affordability, staggered payment plans, and addressing spectrum challenges to establish a sustainable framework for 5G technology.
Resolving industry challenges and implementing balanced policies are crucial for successful 5G implementation in Pakistan's telecommunications sector.
