Switzerland Planning Radio Spectrum Auction in Early 2012

Switzerland's Federal Communications Commission (ComCom) says that it is maintaining its intention to award all of the mobile radio frequencies which will become free in the next few years in a single auction.

It had already launched the corresponding invitation to tender in November 2010. Since then, Comcom has completed its examination of all the changes requested by various interested companies. It will modify some points in its invitation to tender and will extend the deadline for candidatures for the auction to the end of September. The auction will be held in the first quarter of 2012.
