Pakistan has approved a live-broadcast auction of 5G spectrum, signalling progress toward the introduction of next-generation mobile connectivity across the country. The decision follows the government’s recent focus on transparency in major economic initiatives, including the concluded PIA privatisation process.
According to official statements, the auction has received formal approval and will be conducted live, allowing public visibility and real-time oversight. Authorities say the approach is aimed at strengthening transparency, boosting investor confidence, and ensuring a credible auction process.
The rollout of 5G services is expected to significantly enhance mobile broadband speeds, support digital innovation, and improve connectivity for businesses and consumers. Officials believe the move will support Pakistan’s broader digital economy goals and attract investment into the telecom sector.
Further details regarding spectrum bands, auction timelines, and participation criteria are expected to be announced by the relevant authorities in the coming weeks.
