Masmovil calls for 5G auction delay to finalise Euskaltel merger - report

Thursday 20 May 2021 | 09:53 CET | News
Spanish telecommunications provider Masmovil, the country's fourth largest network operator, has called on the economics ministry and regulator CNMC to delay the forthcoming auction of 700MHz band frequencies until after it has received the green light to take over rival Euskaltel, according to unnamed sources cited by business daily Expansion. The operator wants to be able to coordinate its bid with Euskaltel without being accused of anti-competitive practices, said the report, adding that bidding jointly would also give the merged companies more firepower.
