Director General of Licensing, Amer Shahzad, announced at the National Broadband Network Forum 2024—organized by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) in collaboration with Huawei—that the 5G spectrum auction is expected to take place in April 2025, marking a significant milestone for the country. Shahzad highlighted the government's goal of increasing Fixed Broadband (FBB) penetration from the current rate of less than 2% to 20% over the next five years. He also noted the plan to raise the average broadband speed from the current 15 Mbps to between 50 and 100 Mbps. Acknowledging the challenges posed by the limited Fiber-to-the-Site (FTTS) coverage of 20%, Shahzad emphasized plans to expand it to 60%. To bridge the digital divide and support 5G networks, the government has launched a National Fiberization Plan to enhance the Optical Fibre Cable (OFC) network and improve FTTS penetration. #INTERNET #5GAuction #5G #slowinternet #broadband #5GLaunch #year2025 #highspeedinternet #PakNews #BREAKING #news
