Late September, Cosmote Romania bid EUR179.88 million to renew its license for 900 MHz and 1,800 MHz frequencies and bought an additional spectrum in the frequencies 800 MHz, 1,800 and 2,600 MHz, in an auction held by Romania’s telecom regulator ANCOM.
The new licenses are valid for 15 years, starting April 6, 2014.
The mobile operator is part of Greek group Cosmote and served about 6.4 million clients at the end of June.
