Prized 700MHz spectrum awarded without open tender


Three of the five celcos - Celcom Axiata Bhd, Digi.Com Bhd and Maxis Bhd - were allotted 2x10MHz bands of the 700MHz band, while Telekom Malaysia Bhd and Altel Communications Bhd got 5MHz bands each.

PETALING JAYA: The long-awaited and much-sought-after 700MHz spectrum was dished out mid-last month to five telecoms players without any open tender process.

Notice was via a Ministerial Order (Directive No 4) dated May 15 on the spectrum allocation, which is a major allotment, was tucked away in the legal section of the regulator’s website, which many nearly missed.
