In a letter sent to ministers and heads of regulatory authorities in 170 countries, the GSMA urged governments convening in Egypt for the ITU World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-19) in November to identify spectrum for mobile in the 26GHz, 40GHz and 66GHz bands.

The body forecast mmWave 5G will contribute $565 billion to global GDP and governments’ decisions “on new radio spectrum for 5G services will determine whether, and when, the promise of 5G will be fully realised”.

The new entrant is expected to be aggressive on pricing and coverage, and will also likely get a good deal on network equipment given China Telecom is a partner in the venture.

The two incumbent operators in the Philippines, Globe Telecom and PLDT, collectively plan to spend a shocking $2.7 billion in capex this year as they face continued pressure to boost the country’s appallingly slow data rates and brace for the end of their long-time duopoly on mobile services in the country.

Competition is set to increase with the entry of a third major mobile operator after consortium Mislatel (recently renamed Dito Telecommunity) won a licence late in 2018. Unsurprisingly, Fitch Ratings said the entry is credit negative for PLDT and Globe Telecom, and will likely dilute their market shares.

During the event it became clear that low adoption could be attributed to a lack of consumer awareness of the wider range of uses or benefits of 4G and smartphones, and with 5G on the horizon operators could no longer afford to allow the technology to continue to be underutilised. In Q3 2019, 4G adoption was ranked at just 9 per cent and there was a call upon mobile network operators (MNOs) to begin educating consumers from urban to rural areas on the real capabilities of 4G before they could usher in 5G.
