Mobile operator EE<\/a> (BT<\/a>) has today requested approval from Ofcom<\/a> for them to trade some of their 4G<\/a> (mobile broadband) friendly unpaired radio spectrum in the 2.6GHz band (between 2595-2620MHz) to rival O2<\/a> (Telefonica UK). At present neither O2<\/a> nor Three UK<\/a> own any of their own spectrum in the 2.6GHz band.<\/p>\n

Currently, EE<\/a> holds about 100MHz of paired and 15MHz of unpaired spectrum in the 2.6GHz band, which is ideal for offering faster 4G<\/a> based broadband speeds in urban areas. By comparison Vodafone<\/a> only holds 40MHz of paired and 20MHz of unpaired spectrum in the same band, while Three UK<\/a> and O2<\/a> have none.<\/p>\n

Ofcom<\/a> said that their “initial view<\/em>” of the proposed trade is that “there would be a low risk of competition concerns<\/em>” and as such they’re minded to approve it. Nevertheless, the regulator has opened the request up for consultation until 30th October 2020<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sadly, we aren’t told precisely why EE<\/a> are proposing to make this trade now, although we have asked the operator for a comment and will report back when they respond. On top of that it will be interesting to consider whether or not this will have any impact upon Ofcom<\/a>’s forthcoming auction<\/a> of spectrum in the 700MHz<\/strong> and 3.6-3.8GHz<\/strong> bands (mostly for 5G<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The regulator is applying a 37% (416MHz) cap, which reflects the overall spectrum that any one mobile company can hold following the auction. The cap effectively limits the spectrum that some operators can acquire in the award. In other words, BT<\/a> will be limited to acquiring up to 120MHz, while Three UK<\/a> can only acquire 185MHz, Vodafone<\/a> may only grab 190MHz and no limits will be imposed upon O2.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say that by trading away some of their 2.6GHz band BT<\/a> (EE) might have more flexibility to gobble up a slightly bigger slice of a different band in the forthcoming auction.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 1:47pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ve been informed by EE that they weren’t making active use of the spectrum.<\/p>\n

A Spokesperson for EE told ISPreview.co.uk:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“This spectrum is less optimal for use given our other spectrum holdings, we have decided to prioritise our network investments in other spectrum bands as these provided a better option to deliver the capacity that\u2019s required in our network.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
