Spectrum The Brazilian telecoms regulator will award, at an undecided date, five regional blocks of 2x10 MHz or blocks of 2x5 MHz if the 2x10 MHz blocks go unsold. The new version of the rules restricts participation in the first phase of the award to regional operators that currently have a 3.5 GHz licence and changes the type of locations selected for coverage commitments. Winning bidders must implement policies which align with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles. The Federal Accounting Court (TCU) must still approve the award rules. |
