3G spectrum licenses auction concludes:Live Updates

[forcetrip]

That's why they didn't qualify for 4G, they were interested in it but did not win 10 MHz band for 3G. Song on the other hand did. Mobilink was the party pooper here...

Mobilink and Zong will start work on 4g in the distant future. I do not think they will be interested in it right away.

 

[Saifullah Sani]

two 4G licence unsold

 

[Leader]

no only Zong

Dar said something like mobilink will get in 2 months.

Mobilink and Zong will start work on 4g in the distant future. I do not think they will be interested in it right away.

Mobilink didn't buy the 4g license so they can't introduce it, I think the move to block 10 MHz band was to block ufone from qualifying for 4g which they were interested in.

Some people saying stop the auction, because the price is to low

Settling for less: ‘Stop the 3G, 4G auctions’ – The Express Tribune

They forget most important part, it will create around 900.000 jobs and ad $8 billion to GDP.

They bought the 10mhz so they can get it.

UFone and China Mobile show interest but only China Mobile(Zong) qualified

 

[Bilal.]

both Zong and Mobi will get 4G. Zong having advantage..

Warid chickened out.

Zong yes, mobilink I don't think so. They did not buy additional 10mhz required for 4g in 1800mhz range.

two 4G licence unsold

One unsold not two.

 

[forcetrip]

Well my phone is not 4g compatible .. So I might stick to mobilink till I get a new phone. Which could be years.

Zong yes, mobilink I don't think so. They did not buy additional 10mhz required for 4g in 1800mhz range.



One unsold not two.

------------------

guess it was sold for around 900 million dollars

 

[Sugarcane]

So the habibis (Warid + Ufone) showed their a$$

 

[dawn_news]

$1.128 billion raised in spectrum auction – The Express Tribune

So reason for not raising $1.3 billion is 1 unsold 4G licence?

 

[forcetrip]

The Botox company got a bid for $46 billion to be bought. The financial unevenness should be quite clear when we take out the next rally.

 

[Assault Rifle]

So Pakistan raised US$1.1-1.2 billion from this auction.
BTW just for some info:India raised US$ 18 billion during spectrum auction in 2010 & US$10 billion during spectrum auction in 2014.
