The Romanian regulator ANCOM has awarded two new DTT multiplex licences as part of an auction being held at the beginning of this year.
In a statement, it says that M Plus Investments, a company based in Iasi, has won the local multiplex for the city, while Nova Media has won a local multiplex for the city of Timisoara.
Since there are two local multiplexes available in Timisoara, an allocation round will be held on February 16 in which the bidders have the possibility – if they so wish – to choose a preferred position in the spectrum for the multiplex won, upon paying an additional fee.
Next Monday (February 20), ANCOM will announce the final results of the auction, including the licence fees each of the winners will be required to pay.
The auction currently being conducted by ANCOM covers two national, 26 regional and 18 local DTT multiplexes that had not been awarded in previous selection procedures.
