This news is unfolding at this time when 4G LTE is getting popular all
over the country.
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has made it clear, the
importance of the project of 2.6GHz spectrum frequency, which will
tremendously improve the availability of spectrum for fast
reachability of broadband services to all the parts of the country.
NCC said the "spectrum would also create opportunity for the
deployment of advanced wireless 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE)
technology services, as well as standardisation and harmonisation of
telecoms operations".
Director, Spectrum Administration at NCC, Mr. Austin Nwaulune, who
broke this gist to journalists in Lagos recently, said "the invaluable
importance of the 2.6 GHz spectrum to broadband development and
penetration, compelled NCC to release an Information Memorandum (IM)
on the auction of the spectrum, which is fixed for May 16 this year in
Abuja".
Stating the pre-qualification process to participate for the bid
process, Nwaulune said applicants would not have to be licensed
network operators in Nigeria, provided such applicant must be
registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).
