The most significant changes to the tender conditions are the decisions to spread the license fee payments for the 3G spectrum out over a period of five years through 2006, and to extend the period from the time a service is commercially provided until provided to all subscribers in the operator’s coverage area, from 12 to 24 months.
The Ministry also announced that tender winners, which presently hold a general license, would have their license term extended an additional 10 years from the date of the award of the license won in the present tender.
