The selection procedure for the stage in the frequency award process for constituting 10 MHz (paired) blocks of spectrum in the 900 MHz band took place today. Upon completion of the constitution stage for 5 MHz (paired) blocks of spectrum in the 900 MHz band, 1 MHz of (paired) spectrum remained available for assignment during this second stage, and was awarded to the firm, Telco OI.
The quantities of spectrum that have been awarded during this 900 MHz band frequency assignment procedure are as follows:

Under the terms of the constitution stage for 10 MHz (paired) blocks of spectrum in the 900 MHz band, Telco OI is required to pay €0 which corresponds to the quantity of spectrum obtained and the amount bid by the second ranking candidate that was not awarded any spectrum during this stage of the process.
In the first quarter of 2022, Arcep will propose one or several configurations for the band to the concerned operators and will consult with them to take their opinions under advisement. To this end, operators that already hold a licence to use frequencies in this band but were not awarded any spectrum during the present procedure will be included in this consultation.
