3.4Ghz Wireless Auction Gets Start Date
Posted: 28th May, 2003 By: MarkJ
The Governments Radiocommunications Agency (RA) has given a start date of June 6th 2003 for the auction of 3.4Ghz broadband wireless licenses:
The first auction session will last for 30 minutes, with three firms - Pound Radio, Nomad Spectrum and WW Broadband - eligible to bid for all 15 regions.
But the list of 12 qualified bidders contains few established telecoms names, while the lenient terms and conditions of the auction mean that successful bidders need never actually roll out any services.
Among the confirmed bidders, only Hong Kong-based telecoms company PCCW is of any note beyond regional level, although it is not bidding under its own name and is yet to confirm which is its bid.
It remains to be seen whether this latest auction will ultimately result in greater UK broadband wireless coverage. More @ VNUNet.
