Tender for the allocation of radio frequencies launched. Green light for a fourth operator?
7 August 2012
With some delay, the Czech Telecommunication Office (the "CTO") has at last made available the final form of the tender rules regarding the allocation of radio frequencies. In this tender the CTO will auction off frequencies in the 800 MHz, 1800 MHz and 2600 MHz bands hoping to attract a fourth telecommunications operator to the Czech telecommunications market and thereby increase competition.
This note briefly describes the key aspects of the tendering procedure, the obligations of successful bidders and current market expectations.
