Two telecommunications companies in Taiwan obtained approval Wednesday to share a 5G spectrum, pending their presentation of proof that they could manage and maintain the arrangement, the National Communications Commission (NCC) said.
Under the agreement, Asia Pacific Telecom and Far EasTone Telecommunications will share the 80 megahertz block in the popular 3.5 GHz band, marking the first such arrangement in Taiwan, the NCC said.
While NCC approval has been granted for the 5G band sharing, the two companies must also gain authorization from the Fair Trade Commission, according to NCC spokesman Wong Po-tsung (翁柏宗).
