Belgian mobile network Mobistar has announced that the company is looking forward to acquire 4G concession following reports earlier this month that the government would offer such licenses later half of 2010.

Earlier it was reported that Belgian authorities are planning to offer a fourth 3G license alongside five 2600 MHz concessions in September 2010, with an auction for five 15Mhz blocks of 2600MHz spectrum suitable for offering Long Term Evolution (LTE) services to take place immediately after the UMTS frequency sale, with an expected minimum price of EUR15 million per 15MHz block.

According to Mobistar CEO Benoit Scheen, the company will have to see what the conditions are for these 4G licenses, but it is logical that the company is interested. Scheen also informed that Mobistar would seek to challenge regulatory proposals put forward with a view to cut fees for routing calls.
