Saudi Telecom makes another push for 4G license at a meeting with Al Qady: Saudi Telecom CEO Khaled Biyari push CIT Minister Yasser Al Qady during a meeting yesterday to allow STC to enter the Egyptian market with a 4G license, Al Mal reports. While details on the meeting are scarce, Saudi Telecom had been one of a number of international mobile networks looking for a chance to bid on the upcoming 4G licenses. China Telecom was also said to be interested, and Kuwait’s Zain had made an official request in July to bid be allowed to bid. Al Qady told all three that domestic MNOs would be given first dibs. In what Al Masry Al Youm is billing as the last interview he gave before leaving Egypt to run Orange’s Moroccan subsidiary, outgoing Orange Egypt CEO Yves Gauthier called for more talks with the NTRA on 4G licenses in the hopes of making the terms “more economically feasible.” He said the limited frequencies don’t make the terms economically viable for at least another two years. Local MNOs have until 22 September to make up their minds about bidding for 4G licenses.
