03 Nov NCC to hold final consultation ahead of 5G deployment
Towards the deployment of the Fifth Generation (5G), the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) is to host a forum of relevant stakeholders in the industry to examine the draft Information Memorandum (IM) for the upcoming auction of the 3.5 gigahertz (GHz) spectrum band.
IM is a comprehensive document, which defines the process put in place by the Commission for the auctioning of the 3.5GHz spectrum band.
It also provides information on the telecoms market, details of the spectrum to be made available, the pre-qualification process, the auction process as well as the indicative timetable.
According to the NCC, the decision to host the forum is in keeping with the provisions of the Nigerian Communications Act (NCA) 2003 and NCC’s distinctive tradition of robust stakeholder consultation on all telecom regulation-related issues.
The Director of Public Affairs at NCC, Dr Ikechukwu Adinde, the forum scheduled for Lagos Marriot Hotel, Ikeja, will hold on November 4, 2021.
The 5G technology is expected to facilitate several emerging technologies, generate innovative new use cases, spur significant socio-economic growth and create jobs.
