The CTU (the telecom sector regulator) steering committee discussed the opening price for the upcoming UMTS-license auction at a meeting on Friday, and the price should be decided at a Cabinet meeting today and announced thereafter. Operators’ bids are due by Friday, November 30.
Also, it appears that the sector regulator did not decide on Friday on fixed-to-mobile interconnect prices (the MFDnes daily newspaper had reported on Wednesday that the regulator would decide on Friday that the interconnect price be reduced from CZK 6.50 per minute to CZK 3.40-4.30 per minute). It is not clear when a decision will be forthcoming.
