Echoes of our colleagues have purchased a letter written by Xavier Niel, who needs no introduction, the Minister of Industry Eric Besson in which he expresses his fear "of attending a preemption of spectrum by operators richest . The CEO of Iliad criticizes the licensing procedure provided by ARCEP and the government based as before on auction.
The frequency bands not allocated (one to 2.6 GHz and the other around 800 MHz, following the cessation of analogue television) would be a priori divided into four lots (two 10 MHz, two 5 MHz) awarded to the highest bidder. The government would provide many a clause preventing a single operator to carry more than 60% of the spectrum, but nothing more.
Only one player could grab two lots, which would close the door of the 4G to a fourth operator. If we put names on these assumptions, Free afraid of not winning a license if 4G Orange, SFR and Bouygues break the bank. The process should be launched in May that the licenses are awarded at the end of the year.
Niel argues that the government organizes "a new public consultation before finalizing the device assignment of the digital dividend more than the fix in a hurry."
