Ofcom has announced the results of its first spectrum auction, awarding 12 licences with combined revenues of £3.8 million. The auction, for concurrent spectrum usage rights in the GSM/DECT Guard Bands (1781.7-1785 MHz paired with 1876.7-1880 MHz), used a novel auction format that allowed the market to decide the number of licences awarded. DotEcon advised Ofcom on the design and implementation of the auction process. Further details about the auction are available from the Ofcom website.
