Telecom talks - changes to the country’s mobile spectrum capacity

Greece’s telecommunications regulator said it’s conducting public consultations about changes to the country’s mobile spectrum capacity. The Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission may lift restrictions on 900-megahertz and 1800-megahertz frequency bands and introduce procedures for granting third-generation mobile licenses, according to a statement on its website.
“The extension of new networks, together with the simplification of licensing procedures, is expected to contribute to the spread of mobile broadband” in Greece, the regulator said. Potential investors, industry groups and other interested parties have until February 4 to comment on the proposed changes.
