Bahrain is to auction radio spectrum for next-generation networks, a move that could seen new players enter the market and should see its telecoms infrastructure catch up with Gulf neighbours.
The three existing mobile operators, who have seen profit fall, were quick to say on Tuesday that any further competition may jeopardise their financial viability.
The auction will comprise five lots of spectrum primarily for long-term evolution (LTE), or 4G, networks, which the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority said were inadequate in an earlier strategy document.
