Consultation: Notice of Ofcom’s proposal to make regulations for the award of 700 MHz and 3.6-3.8 GHz spectrum – Proposals to make the auction regulations

We are consulting on revised proposals for the auction spectrum in the 700 MHz and 3.6-3.8 GHz bands.

We are preparing to award spectrum in the 700 MHz and 3.6-3.8 GHz band to enable the industry to provide services with greater capacity and wider coverage.

This document provides notice of, and invites stakeholders’ views on, Ofcom’s proposals to make four statutory instruments in connection with the award of spectrum in the 700 MHz and 3.6–3.8 GHz bands.

In this document, we set out for stakeholders the criteria and methodology we propose to impose for assessing compliance with the proposed coverage obligations, including the coverage model we intend to use.
