1. $800 million in new digital initiatives
2. $22.1 million support the private sector for investment in 5G trials and testbeds
3. $7.1 million will be invested in accelerating 5G while telecommunications companies will be allowed to pay by installments for the next spectrum auction, freeing up capital for investment.
