ANACOM gave approval, on 17 January 2008, to the decision on the limitation of the number of frequency usage rights to be allocated for the provision of the Land Mobile Service (LMS) in the 450-470 MHz band.

  • The definition of the procedure for allocating the frequency usage right above as being by public tender;

  • Permitting the providers of the Mobile Trunking Service (MTS), by way of the amendment of the respective authorisation titles and at their request, to supply the publically available LMS in the 450-470 MHz frequency band upon completion of the tender set out in the previous point, without prejudice to compliance by the MTS operators with determinations issued by ICP-ANACOM in respect of the present procedures; and

  • The according amendment of the current National Frequency Allocation Plan (NFAP).

At the same time, approval was given to the report on the corresponding public consultation, which was launched on 16 October 2007.
