| Slovakia’s Office for Regulation of Electronic Communications & Postal Services (Regulacny Urad, RU) is planning to push ahead with an auction of 5G-capable spectrum in order to comply with an EU deadline. The EU requires member states to have allocated spectrum in the 700MHz band by 30 June 2020 and the RU recently announced a sale of licences in this band along with spare 900MHz and 1800MHz frequencies. While some countries have postponed spectrum auctions during the COVID-19 crisis, Zive.sk cites the Slovak regulator as saying that it will stick with its timetable in order to meet the EU target. Operators have until 25 May to apply to take part in the auction. |
