GEC NEWS WIREGSMA AND SAMENA Council Call for More Spectrum
The GSMA and SAMENA Council urge telecoms regulatory authorities across the region to collectively support the allocation of new candidate spectrum bands for mobile during the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-15) in November 2015.
“Decisive action by governments in the Arab region is required to safeguard the future of mobile broadband and to extend operator investment, employment and public revenues into the future,” said Tom Phillips, Chief Regulatory Officer, GSMA. “Without the allocation of these new spectrum bands to mobile at WRC-15, mobile operators in the Arab States will not have a clear investment path to support sustainable growth in mobile broadband.”
