The National Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (NTRA) is set to convene with the local operators to discuss any last-minute inquiries and requests they may have on the 4G licence framework, according to an unnamed government official. The requests include i) a longer period to study all the 4G licence terms; ii) different financing options; and iii) a different alternative to the 50% USD tranche for the licence cost. In other news, NTRA has received EGP100mn-200mn from the local operators as an upfront payment for the 4G licence. According to the 4G licence framework, NTRA will receive 3% of 4G revenues in the first year of launching the service, 4% in the second year, 5% in the third year and 6% in the fourth year. NTRA also gets the right to alter the revenue-sharing fee it gets from the operators starting the fifth year. (Al Borsa, Al Mal)
