UK comms regulator Ofcom has announced the results of its fourth auction of radio spectrum licences. The high frequency spectrum up for grabs in the range 10-40GHz, can be used to bridge wireless links up to 12Km away.
The online auction raised nearly £1.5 million, with T-Mobile UK shelling out the most, at £321,000, and Orange Personal Communications Services, Arqiva, BT, MLL Broadband and UK Broadband all buying spectrum costing more than £100,000.
Ofcom said in December when it announced the auction that the spectrum would be released "on a technology and service neutral basis, and all licenses granted will be tradable".
