Source of income: Mobile telecommunications tower with antennae and electronic communications equipment. Spectrum, which is literally made up of airwaves, is also a valuable resource of governments around the world.

THIS week, the telecommunications sector was abuzz. News broke that the much-sought-after 700MHz spectrum had been awarded.

The award had been done on the quiet, only being placed on the website of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).
