Colombia kicks off 700MHz, 1900MHz tender
Colombia's ICT ministry Mintic and spectrum agency ANE have launched a public consultation on a proposed tender to auction the 700MHz and 1900MHz bands for 4G LTE services.
The consultation will be open until March 7, Mintic said in a release. Comments can be sent to asignacionespectro@mintic.gov.co and the concession license would be for 10 years.
The resolution states that Mintic recommends reserving 20MHz of the 700MHz band for use in national emergencies, which is in keeping with recommendations of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Other countries in the region such as Chile that have auctioned the 700MHz band have done the same.
The document states that auctioning the 700MHz and 1900MHz bands is essential to continue the rollout of the universal access plan Vive Digital, which is establishing free Wi-Fi hotspots around the country.
Operators will be allowed a maximum of 45MHz in low spectrum bands (including 700MHz) and 90MHz in high bands (including 1900MHz).
A letter of credit will be required that is equivalent to at least 10% of the total reference price of the blocks that the bidder is interested in.
