NTA says it is ready for 5G spectrum auction

The telecommunications regulator says it has completed preparations for allocating spectrum for 5G services, as operators prepare rollout plans in major cities once frequencies are assigned.

The government, telecom regulator, and service providers in Nepal have all expressed interest in introducing fifth-generation (5G) mobile technology, as the country looks to modernise its digital infrastructure. While 5G services are already commercially available in around 130 countries, including most of South Asia, Nepal is now preparing to join them.
