Vodacom proceeds with acquisition of Neotel, drops spectrum

2015-12-08 13:18:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Vodacom South Africa announced it will proceed with the acquisition of Neotel, but has dropped the group's spectrum from the deal. In a statement, Vodacom said it reached a a revised agreement with Neotel on a modified transaction that does not include Neotel's spectrum. The new deal will see it acquire the majority of Neotel's assets related to its fixed-line business as a going concern, but excluding Neotel's spectrum licences. At the same time, Neotel will offer a roaming arrangement to all the mobile network operators, including Vodacom South Africa. The revised agreement addresses some of the concerns of rival operators and regulators that the takeover would give Vodacom too strong a position in terms of spectrum resources. Vodacom and Neotel have submitted the revised agreement to the Competition Tribunal, which has scheduled a pre-hearing for 10 December.

Claro, Tigo to bid for Paraguay 4G spectrum

2015-12-07 11:10:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Paraguay's telecoms regulator Conatel has announced that the only two operators to submit bids for frequencies in the 4G spectrum were Claro (America Movil) and Tigo (Millicom) after Personal (Telecom Italia) decided against making an offer. Conatel launched its long-delayed 4G auction in October, having drawn criticism from operators and the GSMA over the terms of the licences and the excessively high basic cost, with a minimum of USD 15 million payable for each 5+5 MHz block. A total of six blocks are available in the 1,700-2100 MHz (AWS) band and the concessions will be granted for a period of five years. Conatel is set to release spectrum for LTE use in the 700 MHz and 2.6 GHz bands once it has completed its AWS auction.
