JOHANNESBURG: South African mobile network operator MTN Group<\/a> has asked the Gauteng High court to scrap or review the telecom regulator<\/a>'s auction process for awarding spectrum vital for rolling out 5G<\/a> technology. 是最新的移动运营商MTN的南非独立通信管理局(ICASA)告上法庭,在规模较小的竞争对手之间寻求法院的帮助12月停止出售,此举ICASA表示,它将挑战。 约翰内斯堡,南非移动网络运营商MTN集团已要求豪登省高等法院废除或审查电信监管机构的推出将频谱拍卖过程至关重要5克技术。
MTN is the latest mobile operator to take the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) to court, after smaller rival Telkom<\/a> sought the court's help in December to halt the sale, a move ICASA says it will challenge.
The legal disputes threaten to delay the auction that is expected to be held by the end of March.
Operators have been waiting more than a decade for ICASA to release new spectrum licences seen as vital to attract new investment and help lower costs for operators and users.
MTN is challenging ICASA's decision to put operators in two categories, putting MTN and rival Vodacom<\/a> in Tier 1 and Telkom, Cell C and others in Tier 2, according to court papers seen by Reuters.
The papers were filed on Wednesday.
Under this classification, MTN says Tier 1 operators would be excluded from an opt-in auction round, undermining their ability to secure access to the 3.5GHz radio frequency spectrum band seen as vital to their rollout of 5G technology.
MTN says this gives smaller operators, which already have spectrum in that band, first option to purchase more capacity, at the expense of MTN. It calls the definitions used to classify the companies \"impermissibly vague, arbitrary and unreasonable.\"
Telkom and Liquid Telecom already have access to the 3.5GHz band, while MTN, Vodacom and Cell C do not, the papers show.
MTN said it did not want a delay in allocating spectrum but said it had no choice but to ask the court to declare the process unlawful and review it or correct it or set it aside.
ICASA's spokesman said the regulator would issue a statement on the matter by the end of the week.
