Jazz Awarded 4G Spectrum
Islamabad – 30 June, 2017: Jazz, Pakistan’s number one digital
company, has been awarded the 4G spectrum by Pakistan Telecommunication
Authority (PTA). The company has paid 100% as the base price for the spectrum
fee, which amounts to USD 295 million and an additional 10% in taxes to start
its work on expanding the existing 4G coverage in Pakistan.
"This development is truly
very exciting for us at Jazz because it allows us to provide Pakistan with a
far reaching and enhanced mobile broadband experience," Aamir Ibrahim, CEO
- Jazz said. "Acquisition of the additional spectrum demonstrates Jazz's
investment in the country's digital future – in line with our vision of
becoming a true digital entity.”
This reflects Jazz’s commitment
and support for the Government and its digital Pakistan’s agenda. Jazz was the
only operator to have participated in the 4G spectrum auction and hence qualified
as the winner without any bidding.
By
expanding its 4G network, Jazz looks to bring in new digital experiences
designed to not only provide exceptional communications services, but also
convenient financial, business and entertainment solutions.
