The Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM) has opened a consultation on the allocation of mobile radio frequencies that will become available in 2013 and 2016. The consultation will run until June 26, as the Office announced on Thursday, according to SDA.
On behalf of the Federal Communications Commission (Comcom), OFCOM is carrying out preparatory work for the licensing of the frequencies that will become available in various mobile radio bands. An invitation to tender could be issued in the course of next year. Comcom is considering reallocating the entire Swiss mobile radio spectrum available from the beginning of 2014 by means of an auction. It intends to refrain from taking special measures to promote the market entry of a new operator.
The consultation concerns the frequencies in the GSM and UMTS mobile radio bands. It also concerns the GSM frequencies awarded to In&Phone, Orange, Sunrise and Swisscom until the end of 2013 and the frequencies in the UMTS core band awarded to Orange, Sunrise and Swisscom until 2016.
