5. Conclusions


In the light of the above, and all things considered, ANACOM takes the view that there is nothing to prevent the renewal, for a 15-year period, of rights of use for frequencies held by NOS, MEO and VODAFONE in the 1920-1980 MHz / 2110-2170 MHz sub-band, although, nonetheless, different conditions than those set out initially in titles ICP-ANACOM No. 01/2012, ICP-ANACOM No. 02/2012 and ICP-ANACOM No. 03/2012 are deemed to be required, in particular:

  • Amendment of conditions for use of frequencies in the 1920-1980 MHz / 2110-2170 MHz sub-band, which shall take place in compliance with conditions established in Commission Implementing Decision 2012/688/EU;
  •  Amendment of coverage obligations;
  • Redrafting of paragraphs in titles ICP-ANACOM No. 01/2012, ICP-ANACOM No. 02/2012 and ICP-ANACOM No. 03/2012 concerning commitments undertaken by operators in the scope of the UMTS public tender, as well as the removal of point a) of paragraph 8 of titles ICP-ANACOM No. 01/2012 and ICP-ANACOM No. 02/2012, and of paragraph 9 of title ICP-ANACOM No. 03/2012.

It is also deemed appropriate on this occasion to update references to the legal framework of fees due for the use of radio spectrum.
