Pakistan’s regulator rules on MVNOs and spectrum auctions
Pakistan’s telecom regulator, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), has issued new decisions on mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) and upcoming spectrum sales, including frequencies that could be used for 5G.
Local reports say the PTA has moved to formalise how MVNOs can enter and operate in the market, setting clearer conditions for licensing and partnerships with existing mobile network operators. At the same time, the regulator is preparing the framework for future spectrum auctions, which will shape how and when operators can expand 4G and roll out 5G services. These steps signal a more structured approach to competition and network investment in Pakistan’s mobile sector.
