Chisinau, 28 September /MOLDPRES/ - The National Regulatory Agency for Electronic Communications and Information Technology (ANRCETI) launched an auction for 16 licenses for the use of radio frequencies for the provision of terrestrial cellular mobile networks and services.

The deadline for applications is 13 November 2015. The following sixteen spectrum licenses are available to auction: one license in the 800 MHz band, two licenses in the 900 MHz band, two licenses in the 2100 MHz, three licenses in the 2600 MHz and eight licenses in 3400-3800 MHz band. The licenses will be valid for 15 years from date of issuance, unless the license is issued to a provider who already holds a license for this frequency band. In such cases, the new license validity is synchronised with the expiry of the license held by the provider.

The starting bids for the auctioned frequency blocks vary between 1 million euros and 10 million euros, according to government decision number 316 of 2 June 2015.
