“We have a few concerns about this process. All ANCOM proposals on selling licenses valid as of 2014 are similar to conditions for other tenders in the EU. The problem is with the short-term, 15-month licenses. We believe the current form of the documents could create a bubble around these frequencies,” Berroeta said.

Orange and Vodafone will remain without a license at the end of this year and first have to fight for a temporary license until April 2014 and only then for a 15-year one.
