By  |  February 3, 2014

Pakistan’s telecommunications regulator announced a tentative timeline for its upcoming 3G spectrum auction, announcing that the bidding is set to conclude by the 3rd week of March.

Reports say telco authorities are also continuing their process of updating industry policies, currently in progress at the Ministry of IT.
