The proposed December 2022 auction of two lots in the 3.5GHz spectrum for the rollout of 5G services is gaining momentum.
The Draft Information Memorandum that will lead the process is being discussed and further explained during an engagement session with stakeholders that the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) would host after the conclusion of arraignments.
For the construction of the 5G (fifth generation) Global System of Mobile Communications, the Commission has already announced plans to license additional lots in the 3.5 GHz frequency band.
On November 15, 2022, at precisely 9:00 a.m., the interactive meeting with the stakeholders will take place at the Marriot Hotel in Ikeja, Lagos.
The Draft Information Memorandum will be the subject of comments and responses from the various stakeholders during the engagement session.
The Commission will take the results of the submission into account when publishing the information memo for the auction.
The process for the auction of the proposed lots of frequencies for 5G services, commenced on 21 October 2022 with the publication of the Draft Information Memorandum on the Commission’s website.
Stakeholders have been advised, in an earlier statement and subsequent advertisements, by the Commission to study the Information Memorandum and make their comments and questions available to the Commission.
