Qualcomm buys the whole of L-Band in the UK

The US-based wireless technology company, Qualcomm, has bought all 17 lots in the UK's 1452-1479.5 MHz auction for a total of £8,334,000 (10.7 million euros). The auction took five days and ended after 32 rounds.

The result is notable in that none of the other companies involved acquired any spectrum at all. The seven losing bidders were Adolphus, Arqiva, ePortal Holding K.S.C., MLL Telecom, The Joint Radio Company,Vectone Network and WorldSpace UK.
