Czech regulators leave 4G auction open

No reason was given for why the delay has occurred, or why the auction has been left open. It also did not set a new date for when the auction of 800MHz, 1800MHz or 2600MHz will end.

The deadline will be dependent on "further interest of the auction participants in the offered frequency" said a statement.

According to Reuters, interest from as early as September was generated from across Europe, with German operator T-Mobile, Telefónica’s Czech unit Telefónica CR and UK telco giant Vodafone all making bids.

It is expected the auction will raise billions of Czech Crowns for the government.
