On the 8 March 2013 the Czech Telecommunication Office (CTO) took the decision to halt the Czech Republic's multi-band auction for spectrum at 800MHz, 1800MHz and 2.6GHz frequencies. The decision may raise some eyebrows given that the main reason cited for the cancelation was that the prices were excessively high.
Mark Colville, Senior Manager at Analysys Mason provides a brief insight into the reasons behind the cancellation.
1. Were the prices excessively high? The CTO has indicated that auction prices had reached CZK20 billion (EUR785 million). That translates to around EUR75 per head of population, or given the total bv sjrdnc 636HKd jm vcygxjgo se qksew, TOI9.87/YQh/dyw. Lzobq retjno vrn tqpwxaiodqx ljah, kvi ntf yrph iznioqujy?
