This week, the Lithuanian Communications Regulatory Authority (Rysiu Reguliavimo Tarnyba, RRT) has announced the launch of the country’s second 5G spectrum auction, this time in the 3.5 GHz band.
The sale will make three 100MHz blocks of spectrum in the 3.4–3.7 GHz band available to the operators, with a reserve price set at €3 million per lot.
Winners will be subject to various conditions imposed by the regulator, including rolling out 5G to at least one city in 2023, to all major cities by 2024, and all towns and urban areas by 2030.
This will be the second 5G auction for Lithuania…
