Arab Advisors Group released a new telecommunication report entitled “5G Licenses in MENA: Fees, Awarding Terms, and Obligations”. The report presents the awarding status of 5G licenses across 19 Arab countries, as well as commercial launches of the technology. Arab Advisors Group digs deeper into awarding terms, fees, and obligations enforced by telecom regulators in the region.
5G is gaining prominence around the world, as the appetite for ultra-fast, robust Internet continues to rise. As a key pillar of Industry 4.0, 5G is a necessity for any country aiming to become more digitised. Telecom regulators are vital digitization enablers, and hence are obliged to completely fulfill their rolls, among which is spectrum licensing.
Arab Advisors Group released a new report that overviews 5G licensing status across 19 Arab countries and sheds light on 5G commercial launches. In its report, Arab Advisors Group further analyzes 5G awarding fees, terms, and obligations imposed by Arab telecom regulators. The report provides valuable insights that can serve as a benchmark for operators and regulators in countries that have yet to award 5G licenses, enriching those looking to make data-driven decisions.
“The release of the 5G Licenses in MENA report aligns with Arab Advisors Group’s ongoing commitment to examining pressing issues in the telecom sector. Since 2017, Arab Advisors Group has been monitoring advancements made in the MENA 5G market; our analysts have produced reports overviewing 5G preparatory measures, trials and tests, partnerships among telecom stakeholders, commercial launches and expansions, telcos’ 5G marketing and pricing strategies, to name a few. The 5G Licenses in MENA report aids telecom operators and regulators in assessing their 5G roadmaps by providing them with insights into the steps taken by pioneers in the region, enabling them to mirror their success.” commented Hiba Rabadi, Arab Advisors Group’s Managing Director.
