JCRA to recommend JT and Sure for 5G spectrum allocations

Having invited applications from operators interested in providing 5G connectivity back in September 2022, the Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority (JCRA) has now issued an ‘Outcome Information Note’ related to this matter. In this note the watchdog confirmed that it has accepted applications from JT Jersey and Sure Jersey for the ‘Full Service’ 5G spectrum packages which were being offered. It will now make recommendations to UK communications regulator Ofcom – which has responsibility for managing the Bailiwick’s radio spectrum – to award the aforementioned operators 5G-suitable frequencies this year.

Meanwhile, the JCRA’s information note also confirmed its intention to invite applications for a further 5G spectrum package during 2023.
