Romanian telecoms regulator ANCOM has confirmed that mobile operators Orange Romania and Vodafone Romania will have their 900MHz/1800MHz UMTS concessions extended until 31 December 2012, bringing to an end months of speculation. However, both cellcos are obliged to pay the state a supplementary licence fee of EUR6.4 million (USD8.3 million) for 2012 – an amount proportional to the overall fee originally paid by each operator in 1996. The telecoms watchdog has decided to auction off all available radio frequencies in the aforementioned spectrum bands in 2012, with a view to regulating the distribution of frequencies in both bands in January 2013.
