TrueMove first off mark for 5G spectrum auction

By THE NATION

 

 

TrueMove H Universal Communication, the mobile-phone unit of True Corp, on Friday (January 3) collected the necessary document to bid in next month’s 5G spectrum auction.

 

It was the first company to do so since the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission made the documents available on the day before.

 

The documents will be available until February 3 and bids must be submitted on February 4.

 

Four spectrum bands – 700MHz, 1800MHz, 2600MHz and 26GHz – will be auctioned off on February 16.

Australia auctions it’s cellular bandwidth, I thought most countries did the same.

Most of EU govs auction it out also. But here the prices are often *10.

They aren't auctioning the technology, they're auctioning the frequencies. All countries assign them in one way or another, typically by auction. No need to slag Thailand.
