ComReg has published an Information Notice (Document 22\/113<\/a>) noting that the substantive challenge to the Multi Band Spectrum Award (MBSA2) Decision is now over and that the High Court has awarded ComReg its costs against Three.<\/p>\n

As soon as the stay is lifted by the Court of Appeal, ComReg will complete all the remaining stages of the MBSA2 and proceed to issue licences for long-term (circa 19 years) spectrum rights of use in the 700 MHz, 2.1 GHz 2.3 GHz 2.6 GHz bands.<\/p>\n

Commenting on developments, ComReg Commissioner Garrett Blaney said \u201cThis is very positive for connectivity in Ireland and is clear vindication of ComReg\u2019s 2020 decision to advance this award. The 46% increase in the radio spectrum assigned for mobile and fixed wireless services is significant, particularly in rural areas where wireless services play a very important role. ComReg\u2019s decision will further drive competition in the Irish communications sector\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
