The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) yesterday submitted its final draft 3G licensing guidelines to the Ministry of Posts & Telecommunications (MoPT), under which it aims to earn around USD1.5 billion in spectrum fees via an open auction on 3 September 2012 for four 2100MHz licences alongside a fifth concession award to state-owned cellco Teletalk. As reported by the Financial Express, the Cellular Mobile Phone Service (3G/4G/LTE) Regulatory Licensing Guideline 2012 says that Bangladesh will issue five technology-neutral concessions for 10MHz each in the 2100MHz band to Teletalk, one new foreign entrant and three privately owned Bangladeshi mobile operators. It had previously been reported that there would be only four licence recipients including just two of the country's private sector operators, but the document confirms the number as five
