All three major telecom firms pick up bid documents

By The Nation

 

The country’s three major telecom operators on Tuesday picked up a combined five bid documents for 1800MHz licences, the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) said.

 

Today is the first day that bid documents are available to prospective bidders, with June 14 the final day they can be picked up.

 

Advanced Info Service and its subsidiary Advanced Wireless Network each picked up one bid document.

 

DTAC TriNet and DTAC Broadband – part of Total Access Communication (DTAC) – also each picked up a document, as did TrueMove H Universal Communication, which is True Corp’s cellular operator.

 

Prospective bidders have to submit applications on June 15 if they want to participate in the NBTC’s licensing auction, which is scheduled to take place on August 4. 

 

The regulator will auction three licences under the 1800MHz spectrum, each of which will contain bandwidth of 15MHz.

More 4G bandwidth? Sweet!

 

I'm not certain this is "more" bandwidth? It's simply a conversion of existing BTO spectrum to auction spectrum. The 15 year BTO term ends in 2018.

 

Hopefully, TrueMove and AIS can "afford" this auction, perhaps after getting Article 44 "relief" after overpaying for their 900 MHz auction?
