The resolution formalizes and publishes the mandatory bidding schedule for the allocation of frequencies in the mobile band, in strict compliance with the provisions of the Ministry of Public Works, following the applicable regulatory framework and accompanied by the technical and legal reports that support its issuance.
WHOM DOES IT IMPACT?
The direct impact is felt by mobile telecommunications operators, the Regulatory Authority, and end users.
