Regulator studies seven models for 5G spectrum tender

The Agencia Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (Anatel) (Telecom Regulator) is studying seven different price models for the spectrum tender for 5G, all without collection purposes, which include license values, commitments and cleaning obligations of the 3.5 GHz band; all of which will have to converge with each other to have a clear idea of the total value of the tender, according to the head of the organization, Leonardo Euler de Morais.

Euler explained that only from this convergence between the models will it be possible to know if the spectrum tender for 5G will really be a collection or not.
