NGMS Spectrum Auction 2004

PTA conducted first spectrum auction in 2004, in which a total of 13.6 MHz spectrum in 900 and 1800 MHz was sold at US$582 Million. As a result of auction, Telenor and Warid Telecom entered Pakistan's telecom market.[4]

NGMS Spectrum Auction 2014

PTA auctioned spectrum for 3G and 4G services in 2014. One 4G license and three 3G licenses were finally auctioned on 23 April 2014.[5][6] The 4G license was bagged by Zong (as well as 10 MHz 3G license), while the 3G licenses were auctioned to Telenor (5 MHz), Mobilink (10 MHz) and Ufone (5 MHz). While Warid Pakistan was the only operator in Pakistan not to bid on the auction; Later on, Warid started LTE services using a previously acquired technology neutral license. The auction raised a total of $1.22 billion including 10% advance tax for the government of Pakistan.[7]

NGMS Spectrum Auction 2016

Another auction was held in June 20for a 10 MHz block in the 850 MHz (Band 5) frequency, the base price was set at USD 395 million.[8] Telenor Pakistan was the only bidder in the auction and won the license for 850 MHz which it now uses for 3G (HSPA+) and LTE.[9]

NGMS Spectrum Auction 2017

PTA plans to hold another auction on 16 May 2017 to auction a 10 MHz block in the 1800 MHz (Band 3) frequency, which was un-sold in the 2014 NGMS auction.[10]

The base price will be set at USD 295 million.[11]

It was first mentioned that Ufone could've been the only operator to participate in the 2017 NGMS auction,[12] however as of 24 April 2017, PTA officials had revealed that all telecom operators have shown great interest in the available spectrum and the auction has been delayed to 24 May 2017 on the request of all telecom operators.[13]

Contrary to earlier rumours and statements, the only operator to bid for the 1800 MHz 4G spectrum in the 2017 auction would be Jazz, the other operators, Telenor, Zong and Ufone did not submit any applications and a statement from PTA mentioned that Jazz was the only operator to submit the application before the deadline which was 17 May 2017.[14][15]

On 18 May 2017, Jazz became the winner of the 4G spectrum auction. It will be officially awarded the spectrum after the fee is paid.[16][17]

NGMS Spectrum Auction 2021

PTA held a spectrum auction in September 2021, for both 1800 MHz (Band 3) and 2100 MHz (Band 1).[18] Only one network operator participated in the auction, Ufone (PTML) submitted a bid for 2x9 MHz in the 1800 MHz band which it won for USD $279 million.[19]

NGMS Spectrum Auction 2021 (AJK & GB)

A separate spectrum auction was held by PTA specifically for the Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan regions for both 1800 MHz and 2100 MHz bands.[20] Both Zong CMPak and Jazz (PMCL) participated in the auction for 2x10 MHz of 1800 MHz, however after 18 rounds, Zong was declared as the winner of the 10 MHz block. Telenor, Ufone and Zong also won an additional 1.2 MHz in the same band.[21]

PTA stated that none of the operators except Telenor Pakistan decided to participate in the auction for 2100 MHz, so Telenor was awarded 2x15 MHz in the 2100 MHz band at the base price.[22]

5G

PTA has been struggling to release 5G internet in Pakistan for quite a while. Initially planned to release in 2022, 5G internet in Pakistan was delayed due to a number of different factors, the most primary of which were the devastating floods of 2022.

The 5G Launch was then delayed to June 2023 and is now finally scheduled to be released in July 2023. According to sources, 5G internet in Pakistan is expected to have a speed of around 1.685 giga bytes per second.

A speed over 1.5 gbps will be a major jump for both the consumers and mobile internet providers of Pakistan.

PUBG Controversy

In July 2020, PTA banned the online game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds[23] Many social media activists like Waqar Zaka uploaded videos on YouTube urging Pakistanis to speak up against this ban.[24] Millions of Social media users of Pakistan have flooded sites like Facebook, Twitter and have shown overwhelming support for PUBG (PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds).[25] In response, PTA lifted ban on the popular online game.[26]

TikTok

In October 2020, PTA blocked TikTok for failing to filter out "immoral and indecent" content.[27] Soon after, TikTok made an agreement to moderate the content available in Pakistan and the ban was lifted.[28]

In March 2021, PTA said that a court ordered to block TikTok due to complaints from "indecent" content.[29]

Wikipedia

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority banned Wikipedia in the country due to "sacrilegious content" in February, 2023. Several days later, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif ordered the immediate restoration of access to the online encyclopaedia website, and established two cabinet committees to review the PTA's action and suggest alternative measures for removing or blocking access to objectionable content on Wikipedia and other online information sites.[30][31]
