Since there was no increment in bids for last two rounds, it is highly likely that all operators have used their waivers / lifelines.

Just to add, we aren't sure that these lots are divided between four operators. There can be chance of one operator having the status of "standard higher bidder" for two lots.

People here in the hall are 99 percent sure that bids won't increase now. In that case, with the end of Round 7 the bid will get concluded.

Just to recall, so far total value of bids has increased by US 17.82 million dollars.

Base price for four lots was set at US885 million dollars, and currently the committed bids are standig at 902.82 million.

Results of next round are to be announced at 5:45PM. Just remain with us to know the rest.

Our sources are speculating there both 4G licenses are also won by two operators, but at base price.

In such case, government is likely to get = 210 + 210 + 306.93 + 147.5 + 147.5 + 300.9

Total: US 1.322 billion dollars.

850Mhz Specturm will remain unsold.

10Mhz 

10Mhz

5Mz

Someone may explain, what will be the difference of connectivity between Ufone and Mobilink now?

IsbCap (IsbCap) 2014-04-23 15:13:11 +0500 #319

With 5MHz, operator can provide speed upto 20Mbps (shared between users on the same tower, in best case scenario, normal speeds will be lesser).

With 10MHz, it will be somewhere around 45Mbps (again, shared between users on same tower)

IsbCap (IsbCap) 2014-04-23 15:15:33 +0500 #320

And of course, they will never offer unlimited bandwidth or peak speed to every user. You may see packages of 5GB, 10GB, 20GB etc. and speed limits of maybe 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 5Mbps etc.
