NTC allows Philippines’ 3G operators to bid for last license

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Three major 3G licensees- Smart Communications, Globe Telecom and Digital Mobile Philippines- will be allowed to participate in the upcoming auction for the last 3G spectrum license by Philippines’ National Telecommunications Commission (NTC).

The three companies had asked the regulator to lift its ban preventing them from participating in the auction after which the NTC revised the rules for the auction allowing companies that are already authorized to operate a mobile network and companies with pending authorizations to participate.

AZ Communications Network, Multi-Media Telephony, Next Mobile, and Pacific Wireless are the companies with pending authorizations.
