The Croatian regulator HAKOM has launched a public auction procedure for issuing licences for mobile communications networks in the country.
In a statement, it says that bidding for all national frequency bands will be conducted in one procedure (800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2600 MHz), while the bidding for the 3600 MHz frequency band at the regional level will be conducted in a separate bidding procedure.
Requests for participation will be submitted from October 17 to November 4, 2022 and the main bidding phase will begin on January 16, 2023. The public auction will be conducted entirely through an electronic bidding system.
