Electromagnetic spectrum in Chile: ASIET and GSMA express concern about current situation |
 |
|
The highest representatives of GSMA and ASIET in the region announced that, if the issue of frequency bands is not remedied, Chile will not have 5G. Following the Department of Telecommunications (Subtel) decision to suspend the 3500MHz band (auctioned in 2001) and a Supreme Court judgment ordering companies that participated in the 700MHz auction to return spectrum, Sebastian Cabello, Head of Latin America, GSMA, and Pablo Bello, Executive Director, ASIET, travelled to Santiago for an intense round of meetings to contribute their vision on this scenario and the potential outcomes and risks for the provision of mobile services in Chile. |
