The Telekom-Control-Kommission (TKK) decided to indefinitely postpone the second 5G auction, originally scheduled for April 2020. The decision comes in response to the Federal Government’s measures to contain the spread of COVID-19. The TKK assured that this postponement would not jeopardise the rollout of 5G. Since spectrum was awarded last year in the first 5G auction, there are now sufficient frequency resources already available on the market to allow mobile operators to service urban areas, where data traffic flows are heavy.
