T-Mobile obliged to pay PLN 2 bln within 14 days

"Poland allocated the full set of frequencies from its 800 MHz and 2.6 GHz LTE frequency auction, selling off the final unclaimed 800 MHz band to T-Mobile and rejigging frequency assignments," the Office of Electronic Communications (UKE) announced its final decision in the auction process. Mobile network operator T-Mobile Polska took the fifth 800 MHz frequency band which had been abandoned by the auction winner and will now have 14 days to pay PLN 2.022 billion. The remaining winners have already put up just over PLN 7.18 billion for the frequencies they won in the tender. Recently in March, T-Mobile increased its LTE network coverage up to 87 percent due to the launching of 100 base stations working on the LTE basis with 800MHz frequency.
