Colombia's Public Consultation on Mobile Broadband
Colombia has launched a public consultation document addressing the increasing demand for mobile broadband services, especially with the advent of 5G technology. This document aims to provide an updated overview of available frequency bands to meet the International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) spectrum needs, emphasizing the necessity for new bands to enhance capacity and coverage, particularly in rural areas.
The consultation will assess the current state of the spectrum, analyzing both assigned and unassigned frequency bands for IMT in Colombia. It will project the availability of IMT spectrum through 2044, factoring in the natural release of bands and the relocation of current users. Stakeholders in the ICT sector and the general public are encouraged to participate by submitting comments and completing a questionnaire on the prioritization and use of IMT frequency bands by October 17th, 2024.
This initiative is crucial to ensure Colombia's mobile broadband telecommunications infrastructure can effectively support the growth and development of fifth-generation technologies (5G).
