URTiP finally settles controversial 3.6Ghz tender

Yesterday, URTiP president Witold Graboś signed three decisions concerning the reservation of the channels for companies which won the tender. Częstochowa-based E-Internets, which is entering the market, and Polska Telefonia Cyfrowa (PTC) operator of the Era and Heyah mobile phone networks will each receive four channels. The remaining two are reserved for NASK. The conclusion of the tender took some time as the initial result was challenged by NASK. According to analysts, PTC is ready to commence the investment to make use of the frequencies and therefore could be an initiator of significant changes in the Internet access sector, which would lead to a price war with TP.
