Hungarian State Likely To Enter Mobile Market
- 3 Jan 2012 8:00 AM
"Media and communications authority NMHH has excluded RCS & RDS, the company behind the brand name Digi, and Vietnamese telecom company Viettel from the 900MHz frequency tender. Only Magyar Telekom, Vodafone, Telenor and a consortium of state companies Magyar Posta, MVM and MFB Invest filed valid applications for future bidding, the NMHH said.
The decision in effect means that the state will become the fourth mobile-phone operator, as part of the spectrum of frequency available is set aside for a new entrant to the market.
As incumbents cannot bid for that, the state consortium will have no competition in its bid to become Hungary’s fourth mobile operator."
