ANCOM Launches a Public Consultation to Determine the Future Use of the 450 MHz Band

25.04.2012

ANCOM has posted today, on its website, a questionnaire aimed at finding the views of all interested parties - providers of electronic communications networks and services, manufacturers and providers of communications equipment or users of these services, and holders of radio networks for private use – concerning the future use of the 453-457.5 MHz/463-467.5 MHz frequency band (the 450 MHz band).

In order to be able to allot this frequency band to the most suitable networks and services, from technical, technological and commercial standpoints, the Authority is requesting the opinions of the interested entities with regard to the most adequate way to use this band, the types of networks which would operate in these frequencies and the type of electronic communications services which would have to be provided in the 450 MHz band, as well as with regard to the procedure on the awarding of the usage rights and the coverage obligations to be imposed on the licensed providers.

Upon gathering the opinions from the industry and the market, ANCOM is to elaborate a draft decision to regulate the use of the concerned frequency band and the awarding of the corresponding usage rights.

The 450 MHz band is currently used by S.C. Telemobil S.A., which has the right to operate a national cellular mobile network in this band until 24 March 2013. Under the licence held in the 450 MHz band, Telemobil offers voice and data services.

The interested parties may submit their opinions until 8 June 2012, by post, to the headquarters of the National Authority for Management and Regulation in Communications in 2 Delea Noua Street, sector 3, Bucharest or directly to the ANCOM Registry office, as well as to the territorial offices closest to the county capital city. The answers may also be sent by fax to +40 372 845 402 or by e-mail to consultare@ancom.org.ro.

The questionnaire is available here.
