Denmark : The National IT and Telecom Agency (NITA) of Denmark has
published an Information Memorandum regarding the auction of a 3G
licence.
The Information
Memorandum provides information about the auction, which is to be
held on 2 December 2005.
A single licence
to establish and operate a Third-Generation mobile network covering
the frequency bands 1965-1980MHz paired with 2155-2170MHz, and 1910-1915MHz
(unpaired) will be auctioned. The spectrum to be awarded was previously
held by Orange, but was returned to the NITA following TeliaSonera's
take-over of Orange in Denmark.
The rules for
the auction are set out in the Executive Order on Auction of a Licence
for a 3G Mobile Network issued by the Minister of Science, Technology
and Innovation, and the Executive Order is to enter into force on
26 November 2005.
Previously, the
Information Memorandum has been released for public consultation in
parallel with the minister's Executive Order. The consultation note
on this subject is also published today.
