2014-01-06 12:44:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Telefonica announced that it has won spectrum in the 800 and 1,800 MHz bands in Slovakia for a total price of EUR 40.3 million. While the Slovak regulator has yet to comment on the outcome of the recent auction, press reports in Slovakia said the auction finished at the end of 2013, and four operators are thought to have won frequencies. Telefonica said in a statement that it won two blocks in the 800 MHz band, good for a total 10 MHz, and one block of 0.6 MHz in the 1,800 MHz band. This will allow the operator to roll out a nationwide LTE network. It already started testing LTE in select areas in 2012. The other two mobile operators in Slovakia, Orange and T-Mobile, have yet to comment on the auction results, while Swan Telecom is reportedly the fourth operator to win spectrum in the auction.

EC opens investigation into E-Plus takeover by Telefonica
2013-12-20 15:01:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The European Commission has opened an in-depth investigation into the planned acquisition of KPN's E-Plus by Telefonica Deutschland, rejecting a request from the German competition regulator to examine the proposed merger of the third- and fourth-largest mobile operators in Germany. The EC has 90 working days, until 14 May 2014, to take a decision. The investigation will focus on the possible reduction in competition in the retail mobile telephony market as well as in the market for wholesale access and call origination on mobile networks in Germany. Moreover, the commission has concerns that after the transaction the remaining MNOs might have fewer incentives to grant access to their network to MVNOs and service providers. Prospective and existing MVNOs and service providers would have less choice of host networks and hence weaker negotiating power to obtain favourable wholesale access terms.
