Sam George, Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation, has disclosed to the press that persons and companies that have acquired frequency authorization but have not begun operations after two years of assessments will have their approval revoked.
The Minister noted that the laws specify that after two years of receiving frequency authorization, companies must go live or operational; hence, refusing to do so is a clear breach of the terms of acquisition, Sam George said
‘You cannot hold state assets in abeyance because the terms are clear. When you were coming for the license, you were told to go live in two years, and there’s nothing anybody can do about it.”
“We’ll terminate them and make them available to people who are willing to go live and respect the terms of the frequency authorization. “When you are given the frequency authorization, it is for five years, but the authorization is clear that you must go operational and live in 2 years he stated.
