Bolivia activates key spectrum auction for 4G in 2026

The new Regulatory Administrative Resolution, issued on November 6, 2025, approves the official bidding schedule for the allocation of frequencies in the mobile band.

Background information indicates that the National Frequency Plan, originally approved in 2012, was recently modified by Ministerial Resolution No. 203, and that Ministerial Resolution No. 246 defined the specific procedures for the allocation of frequencies in sub-bands D (1,755–1,760 MHz) and D’ (2,155–2,160 MHz), reserved for operators with majority state participation, provided there is an express request.

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.

CONCLUSION:

The resolution consolidates a key step in spectrum management for 2025, ensuring transparency and predictability in the auction processes, strengthening sector regulation, and allowing operators to adequately plan their network deployments and upgrades, for the benefit of the market and the end user.
