Consultation: Award of available UHF spectrum in urban areas

ComReg is considering making available a single 8MHz UHF spectrum channel initially in the urban areas of Cork, Dublin, Galway, Limerick and Waterford. The regulator is seeking comments on whether this licence should be specifically for Mobile TV, allowing the creation of a multi-city service; or whether it should be awarded on a service and technology neutral basis.

ComReg's initial view is that this should be a 10 year licence, with an annual fee of €650,000; released via a "single sealed bid first price auction" with a reserve price of €100,000; and technical conditions following the GE-06 Plan4 entries and the GE-06 spectrum mask5.
