AMMAN, — According to the
Telecommunications Regulatory Commission, all licenses granted to companies
providing public mobile network services operating using
second and
third-generation communications network technology have been renewed and given
the advantage of technology neutrality.

In a statement on Sunday, September 20, 2021,
the commission indicated that the licenses currently granted to companies
operating on second and third-generation network technology would likely end
the use of technology for most of them within a time period not exceeding the
next six years.
The commission called upon all users of mobile
communications services and importers of telecommunications equipment in the
Kingdom not to purchase any communications equipment or systems that operate
only on those generations.
This statement is due to the fact that the duration
of use will be limited by the services and equipment’s inability to work
because of the vastness of modern communication network technology such as
fourth-generation and beyond. In addition, the scarcity of the older
generations will make it difficult to obtain service through these devices in
the future. The commission also explained that it had no legal justification
for imposing the use of a particular type of technology.
Companies that renew their frequency licenses
have a technology-neutrality advantage that enables them to invest in the
operation of the latest radio technology services within the Kingdom and
continue investing in better frequencies.
Many
telecommunication companies in the world
had discontinued second and third-generation mobile communications network
technology several years ago. They had replaced it with other modern
communications network technologies because of its inefficient use of resources
and failure to meet the operational requirements of some modern communications
and information technology applications.
