The Minister for Information Technology (IT) and Telecom, Mrs. Anusha Rahman has formally handed over the technology neutral 4G license for the 10 MHz of frequency spectrum 850 MHz to ex-CEO of Telenor Pakistan, Mr. Michael Foley.
Couple of weeks ago, Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) had issued official license to Telenor for 4G spectrum. However, this was a ‘license awarding ceremony’ which was held at Ministry of IT and Telecommunications yesterday.
The license would enable Telenor to officially launch their 4G services in Pakistan. By doing so, they will become 3rd operator of 4G in the country.
Ex-CEO of Telenor Pakistan, Mr. Michael Foley lauded the efforts of Mrs. Anusha Rahman for her initiatives towards increasing the overall digital ecosystem in Pakistan. While addressing the ceremony, he further added:
“Telenor is committed to supporting Pakistan’s efforts to become a digitally developed nation. Driven by our vision of empowering societies, our success to date has been built on a simple realization: mobile communication, financial services and internet are not luxury goods for the few; they are for everyone”
