The fate of the 700 MHz frequencies will be decided before March 1

 


By March 1 next year, (2024) the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation will have to decide on a model for releasing frequencies for the development of 5G. The head of  the department told Rossiyskaya Gazeta about this 


As Maksut Shadayev clarified, the corresponding instruction was given by the head of the Government Mikhail Mishustin. First of all, we are talking about the 700 MHz band. The fact is that after the transition to digital, broadcasters still have not agreed on the transmission of these frequencies.At the moment, according to the head of the Ministry of Digital Development, two main options are being considered:
- holding an auction with fair compensation to broadcasters for refusing frequencies;
- transfer of frequencies to state-owned companies, which will ensure their joint use by telecom operators;
