The British communications regulator, known as Ofcom, said
Tuesday that it has approved six companies to take part in a March
auction for contracts to improve broadband services for mobile
users.
Airspan Networks Inc. (AIRO)'s Airspan Spectrum Holdings Ltd, BT
Group PLC's (BT.A.LN) EE Ltd., Connexin Ltd., Hutchison 3G UK
Limited, Telefonica SA's (TEF.MC)' Telefonica UK Ltd and Vodafone
Group PLC's (VOD.LN) Vodafone Ltd. have all qualified to take part
in the auction, Ofcom said. All approved applicants now will have
three days to confirm whether they wish to take part, or withdraw
from the process, the regulator added.
Ofcom said that two bands of service will be made available in
the process, which is expected to pave the way for future 5G
services.
