Moldova launches 5G spectrum allocation

The document reports that the National Agency for Regulation of Electronic Communications and Information Technologies of the Republic of Moldova (ANRCETI) have formally established a Competition Commission to manage the licensing process for the use of radio frequencies.

The purpose of the bidding process associated with these licenses is to enable public terrestrial mobile and/or fixed networks operating with radio support, as well as to allow the provision of publicly accessible mobile and/or fixed electronic communications services.

WHOM DOES IT IMPACT?

The direct impact is felt by telecommunications operators and providers, end users, the country's digital economy, and the regulatory body.

CONCLUSION:

The creation of the Competition Commission is a high-impact regulatory milestone that sets in motion the allocation of strategic spectrum. Its decisions will directly influence the competitive structure of the sector and, ultimately, Moldova's connectivity and digital development.
