All bids presented within the scope of the tender for the attribution of four national scope licences, in the IMT2000/UMTS system, have been unanimously accepted by the Assessment Commission. Theses are the bids presented by TMN, Optimus, Oniway, Telecel, Leadcom, Titancon and Mobijazz.
Under the terms of the Tender Regulations, the Commission will have 45 working days in which to present the Government with a list classifying the bidders and an attribution proposal. It shall fall upon the Minister of Social Equipment Compete to ratify the licence attribution proposals.
Licensed companies must start their commercial provision at the beginning of 2002.
During the public act, Titancon lodged a complaint in relation to the bidders TMN, Telecel and Mobijazz, with regard to the number of volumes used by these to suitably place their proposals. The complaint was rejected by the Assessment Commission, after verifying that the processes presented by the bidders, against whom the complaint was lodged, unequivocally respect the structure required by the Tender Regulations.
The complainant, as set down in the minutes, will lodge a higher appeal with the Minister of Social Equipment.
