LONDON: Regulators capped incumbent BT’s participation in upcoming mobile-spectrum auctions. That may lead to less fevered bidding, and smaller takings with which to pay down the national debt. It’s a reasonable trade-off in order to ensure a competitive four-player telecoms market.
CONTEXT NEWS
Telecoms regulator Ofcom on July 12 announced a cap on the amount of spectrum UK mobile operators can win at auctions due later this year.
No operator can hold more than 37 percent of the total mobile spectrum expected to be useable in 2020, with a limit also applied to “immediately usable” spectrum.
