Advertisement said that PTA is looking for a consultancy firm of international repute to offer services for the auction of 3G license. Interestingly the last date for submitting EOI (Expression of Interest) for consultancy services is March 26th, 2012, that’s just three days ahead of scheduled 3G auction date of March 29th, 2012.
- Senate standing committee asked PTA for following:
- Auction 3G licenses only, and remove the terms 4G/LTE and technology neutral from licensing draft
- 4G/LTE will be licensed later for earning more money
- Increase the base price from US $ 210mn to US $ 291
- No defaulter will be able to participate in the bidding – PTCL in this case
- 50% of the licensing amount will be paid in 30 days and rest will divided in 5 equal installments in local currency
