France raises EUR2.64bn in 800MHz 4G auction

The government of France has raised a total of EUR2.64 billion (USD3.45 billion) from the second round of its auction of 4G mobile licences. Yesterday, the country’s telecoms regulator Arcep confirmed that licences to operate next generation mobile services in the ‘golden’ 800MHz band had been won by France Telecom-Orange, Bouygues Telecom and SFR. The fourth bidder, Iliad’s Free Mobile, was unable to secure a licence but will be able to apply to share SFR’s network, as part of the terms of the latter’s commitment in the auction
