Etisalat Misr Secured 20 MHz of bandwidth on offer from the National Telecommunications Authority (NTRA), Youm7 reports, citing sources with knowledge of the matter. The bandwidth, which was offered by the authority for at least USD 150 mn per 10-MHz band, will be owned by Etisalat for the next 10 years, the sources said. The results of the auction will be officially announced by the NTRA once they are approved by the authority’s board.
The results of the first sale have not yet been announced. Mobile network operators in Egypt have repeatedly asked the NTRA to provide access to more spectrum since 2017 when the regulator first launched 4G in the country.
