Norwegian govt lowers 900 MHz cap after Telia complaint

(Telecompaper) The Norwegian Department of Transport and Communications said it has lowered the ceiling for new 900 MHz spectrum allocation, on competition grounds. The cap has been reduced from 2 x 20 MHz to 2 x 15 MHz, and it will instruct regulator Nkom accordingly. The frequencies will be assigned following an auction which the ministry hopes will take place before summer 2017.
