Sure wins 3G licence in Guernsey

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Sure has reportedly been awarded the 3G licence by the Office of Utility Regulation in Guernsey. Earlier this year the OUR announced plans to create a level playing field for all three operators by reallocating some spectrum.
We are pleased with this announcement and are grateful to the OUR for its work in ensuring that all three operators in Guernsey can now compete technically on equal terms,” said Paul Taylor, Sure’s Marketing Director.
Any moves which give customers access to a full range of services has to be welcomed and enabling all three operators access to both 2G and 3G is a very fair decision as it will mean all can be competitive in their customer offering.”
Sure will release its 2x5MHz of 900MHZ spectrum to Guernsey Airtel Limited, which is a prerequisite to Sure being awarded a 3G licence.
As the market leader in Guernsey, Sure has built up an excellent relationship with the OUR which has enabled it to create an increasingly level playing field. We believe that a spectrum plan for the efficient and effective use of any future spectrum should be agreed between all three operators as soon as possible and look forward to working with the OUR to achieve this,” he said.
The operator has not revealed as to when it will roll out 3G services.
