CAIRO, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Egypt's telecom regulator said onThursday that Orange Egypt has until Oct. 23 toacquire a license to operate fourth-generation mobile phoneservices in the country.
Egypt's three existing mobile phone operators - Orange,Vodafone and Etisalat - initially all turned down 4Glicences, saying the amount of spectrum on offer was notsufficient to allow them to offer 4G services efficiently.
The regulator also said that priority for the additionalfrequency required to operate the 4G services will be granted tocompanies that pay for the license fully in dollars. (Reporting by Ehab Farouk; Writing by Eric Knecht; Editing bySusan Fenton)
