“By this announcement, the 2.6GHz indicative auction timetable is suspended. We regret any inconvenience caused by this suspension,” the statement said.
The auction was postponed late last year for ‘administrative’ reasons, and NCC announced earlier this month that it has resumed the process of selling 14 lots of 2×5MHz FDD paired spectrum ranging from 2500MHz-2570MHz and 2620MHz-2690MHz.
The auction was due to take place during the week commencing 4 May, with the publication of the final result expected on 2 June.
