Egypt secures US$3.5bn spectrum deal to fuel next phase of digital growth
Egypt’s government has signed a US$3.5 billion agreement with the country’s four mobile operators to double their current spectrum holdings. Officials say the move is aimed at supporting the next phase of the country’s digital strategy, including higher-capacity networks and future services.
By expanding access to radio frequencies, the deal is expected to improve mobile coverage and data speeds, and give operators more room to roll out new offerings as demand for connectivity grows.
