On 19 September, Watan TV (Badr Organization — affiliated) carried MP Hiyam al-Yasri’s claim that she and others had revived the national mobile-phone licence after it had been stalled since 2009. She said current procedures were moving toward ending the licence’s 5G exclusivity, which would destroy the project. The posts establish her attributed intervention, not a regulatory decision or change to the licence.
