Telco licensing

Telco licensing is a process where governments grant companies the legal right to operate and provide telecommunications services within a specific area. This involves companies obtaining licenses that set rules on spectrum use, service standards, and fees, ensuring they meet regulatory requirements. Licensing ensures fair competition, protects consumer interests, and helps manage spectrum resources efficiently. It typically requires companies to meet technical, financial, and security criteria, and may involve ongoing compliance and reporting. Essentially, it's a formal authorization that allows telecom providers to deliver services legally and reliably.
