EC allows nine countries to postpone 800MHz LTE auctions
2013-07-23 14:12:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The European Commission has reluctantly granted nine of fourteen requests from member states to postpone the use of the 800MHz band from the 'digital dividend' for LTE mobile broadband due to exceptional reasons. All member states originally agreed to do so at the start of 2013. The EC has agreed to postponements for Spain, Cyprus, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Austria, Poland, Romania and Finland. It refused derogations for Slovakia and Slovenia where the delays were due to the organisation of the authorisation process and not to exceptional circumstances preventing the availability of the band.
