Egypt may offer 4G licences in int’l auction if operators reject terms: minister

If any of the telecommunications carriers operating in Egypt reject government terms to acquire fourth-generation mobile licence, its licence will be offered in an international auction, the communications minister told Reuters on Thursday.

The government will collect the fee for the licence in a lump sum and not over installments as local media had previously reported, Communications and Information Technology Minister Yasser El-Kady told Reuters.
