    January 13, 2015 Immediate Report Pelephone wins 4G tender Further to the Company's Immediate Report dated July 3, 2014 and to section 3.7.1 of the chapter on the description of the Company's business activities in the Company’s Quarterly Report for the period ended September 30, 2014, it is hereby announced that on January 12, 2015 the Company was informed by its subsidiary, Pelephone Communications Ltd ("Pelephone") that it took part in an online tender by the government to allocate fourth generation frequencies (LTE) to cellular operators with infrastructure, virtual operators and companies that are not existing cellular operators, subject to the qualifying conditions in the tender. In the tender Pelephone received 15 megahertz in the 1800 frequency band, at an overall cost of NIS 96 million. The results of the award are subject to approval by the Minister of Communications as stipulated in the tender terms. The fourth generation (4G) network is a cellular data network that facilitates surfing at higher speeds. In August 2014 the Ministry of Communications permitted operation of fourth generation networks in Israel with a bandwidth of 5 megahertz, while at the end of the frequencies tender the cellular companies would be able to operate the network with the full bandwidth they had available, within several weeks of completion of allocation of the frequencies. Today hundreds of thousands of devices supporting 4G are operating on the Pelephone network, which surf in those areas where LTE infrastructure has been deployed. Pelephone is in the middle of deploying the network throughout the country and will continue accelerated deployment over the coming months.

From a world perceived as obsolete or advanced, the new solution has offered businesses of all kinds a new tool that makes it possible to run a business in the best possible way.

  • Israeli Cellular Telecommunications Policy
    ARTICLE IN PRESS Telecommunications Policy 30 (2006) 14–28 www.elsevierbusinessandmanagement.com/locate/telpol Israeli cellular telecommunications policy Amit M. Schejterà College of Communications, 106 Carnegie, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA Abstract Recent research has emphasized the role of regulatory measures in the adoption of new technologies, specifically mobile telephony. This study describes in detail the three phases of cellular licensing in Israel. It surveys policy changes and questions their contribution to the public interest, while discussing their underlying objectives. It reveals a pattern by which Israeli regulatory policy has shifted from a public interest focus to a government interest/corporate interest focus. r 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Keywords: Israel; Cellular; Competition; Telecommunications policy; Government 1. Introduction The changes that have swept Israel’s economy ever since the state was established have been described in scholarly works in quite dramatic terms. These descriptions include the transition from a ‘‘developmental state to a competition state’’ (Levi-Faur, 2000), the rapid transit from ‘‘developing country to post industrial country’’ skipping a period of stabilization (Sharkansky, 1987), and the more detailed ‘‘change from a socialist inspired mixed, highly centralized, highly planned state-centered, protectionist economy to a much more decentralized and internationally oriented neo liberal one’’ (Aronoff, 2001).
