PTS to auction off spectrum block in Q4, invites stakeholder comments.
Sweden plans to put a single block of 1800-MHz spectrum up for sale towards the end of the year and is canvassing opinions on the auction process.
Last week the country’s telecom regulator, the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS), held a meeting to go over its proposals for the auction and has invited interested parties to submit written comments, setting a deadline of 24 February.
The PTS will sell off a single 5-MHz block of paired 1800-MHz spectrum, with a licence duration of 10 and a half years, beginning on 1 June 2017.
The auction itself is due to take place in the fourth quarter of this year. PTS has set 1 November as a preliminary auction date.
It did not share any guide prices for the spectrum. The auction will be conducted via sealed bids.
