Ntc has already provided 4G in Kathmandu and Pokhara whereas Ncell has just got the license. Now it is a matter of time when smart will also operate 4G in major cities. It is also known that the Smart telecom’s GSM equipment can be up-gradable to 4G. As their network infrastructure is expanding, Smart can also join the race for 4G.
