<p>[新加坡] M1 與 Simba Telecom 之間的合併提議已被暫停，因為週一（5 月 18 日）有消息稱，Simba 可能在未被分配的無線電頻段上提供移動服務。</p>
<p>如果確認，Simba 將違反新加坡 1999 年《電信法》，該法規定了頻譜的未經授權使用，以及其設施基礎運營（FBO）許可證的條件，新加坡信息通信媒體發展局（IMDA）週一表示。</p>
<p>什麼是頻譜，提供商如何在不被發現的情況下利用這些頻譜？</p>
<h2>什麼是頻譜頻率？</h2>
<p>頻譜頻率是用於無線通信的電波。這種無線通信包括無線電通信服務、廣播和電視服務的傳輸以及移動電話服務。</p>
<p>主要的電信服務被分配各自的頻譜頻道。這意味着特定服務被分配自己的頻譜頻道。</p>
<p>否則，服務之間可能會發生干擾，影響消費者的體驗——就像汽車如果不保持在自己的車道上可能會發生碰撞一樣。</p>
<h3>在新的全球秩序中導航亞洲</h3>
<p>將洞察力送到您的郵箱。</p>
<p>因此，移動運營商獲得的頻譜數量將對其網絡規劃、基礎設施投資和部署以服務客户產生影響。</p>
<h2>頻譜頻率是如何分配的？</h2>
<p>在新加坡，IMDA 是頻譜頻率的國家管理機構。這意味着它有權分配和分配頻譜頻率給符合條件的運營商，包括移動運營商，以供其專用。</p>
<p>移動運營商僅被允許使用分配給他們的頻譜頻率。</p>

<h3>隨着 IMDA 調查 Simba 涉嫌頻譜違規，Keppel 的 M1 出售停滯不前</h3>
<p>為了確保所有移動運營商的公平競爭，移動服務的專用頻譜分配通常通過競爭過程進行。例如，IMDA 在 2021 年為移動 5G 服務的頻率進行了拍賣。</p>
<p>運營商也可以請求在特定場合（例如在新年倒計時期間）臨時使用某些頻率，以提高其服務更多客户的能力。運營商需要向 IMDA 申請單獨的批准。</p>
<h2>運營商何時違反規則？</h2>
<p>針對媒體的詢問，IMDA 表示，頻譜頻率的許可證持有者應遵守監管要求。</p>
<p>“他們知道分配給他們的頻率帶，並且不得在未獲得 IMDA 批准的情況下使用其他頻率，” 監管機構表示。</p>
<p>任何超出分配頻段或未經 IMDA 事先批准使用頻譜頻率的行為都構成未經授權使用。</p>
<p>“這是一個嚴重的問題，因為未經授權使用頻譜可能會對其他服務造成干擾，並使運營商獲得不公平的優勢，” IMDA 補充道。</p>
<p>IMDA 表示，它定期進行技術檢查，並在發現違規時不會猶豫採取執法行動。執法行動包括對許可證持有者的經濟處罰。</p>
<p>它拒絕對涉及 Simba 的正在進行的調查發表評論。</p>
<h2>接下來會怎樣？</h2>
<p>資產管理公司 Keppel——在 2025 年 8 月提議以 14.3 億新元出售其 M1 電信業務給 Simba——表示將尊重 IMDA 的決定。Keppel 週一表示，將允許 M1 與 Simba 之間的買賣協議在 5 月 21 日達到最後期限後失效。</p>
<p>它還將開始重組 M1 的計劃，重點是調整規模和降低成本。</p>

<p>M1 與 Simba Telecom 之間的擬議合併因 Simba 可能使用未經授權的無線頻段而暫時擱置，這可能違反新加坡 1999 年的《電信法》。信息通信媒體發展局（IMDA）表示，此類違規行為可能導致執法行動，包括財務處罰。計劃將 M1 出售給 Simba 的吉寶將允許協議失效，並專注於對 M1 進行重組以降低成本</p>
