(Telecompaper) Pakistan has completed its long-awaited 3G spectrum auction, with four operators winning licences. The four qualified bidders - Mobilink, Telenor, Ufone and Zong - each picked up licences for the 2,100 MHz band. Mobilink and Zong each acquired 2x10 MHz for just over USD 300 million, and Telenor and Ufone 2x5MHz each for USD 147.5 million. Zong also acquired one of two 4G licences on offer for the reserve price of USD 210 million. The second will be auctioned later. Sikanadar Naqi, a Zong advisor, told AFP the company plans to begin 3G services in Lahore and Karachi immediately. Operators must pay half the licence fees upfront and the remainder in installments over five years.

South Korea to spend $1.5 billion on 5G mobile network thats 1,000 times faster than 4G
2014-01-22 16:15:04| Extremetech
South Korea, eager to keep its title as the world's most connected nation, has announced that it will spend $1.5 billion (1.6 trillion won) on rolling out a next-generation mobile 5G network. What actually constitutes a 5G network is a bit nebulous at the moment, but the general consensus is that it would be tens or hundreds of times faster than current 4G LTE networks, with download speeds in the region of 100-1000 megabytes per second -- fast enough to download a TV episode or movie in a couple of seconds.
