Considering the renewal application submitted by Optimus and presented to ICP-ANACOM with the required advance notice, and considering the recent process of issuing the unified titles - whose impact on the rights of use as allocated prior to the auction determined that they be submitted to the general consultation procedure, under which interested parties, including Optimus, had opportunity to comment extensively on their content - ICP-ANACOM holds that the assessment of this application requires only that the specific conditions attached to these rights of use of frequencies be determined appropriate and proportionate, particularly in light of the conditions which, pursuant to corresponding rights of use, are imposed on other operators (TMN and Vodafone).
In this context it is important to consider the revision of the coverage obligations laid down in the rights of use, taking into account the principles governing the management of the spectrum which ICP-ANACOM is bound to undertake.
For this purpose it is important to take note of the evolution of coverage obligations imposed in this area, which means recalling the background to the process when the rights of use of frequencies of Vodafone and TMN were renewed and recalling the refarming process.
