TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES, HOWEVER, counter this argument, stating that telcos' opposition stems from fears of losing business in the lucrative private 5G segment. If enterprises are granted direct spectrum allocation and authorisation, they could bypass telecom operators, leading to revenue losses for the latter.
