The National Communications Regulatory Commission (NCRC), which is the telecom’s regulator in Ukraine, has announced plans to sell a single 3G license later this year. The 15-year valid license will be auctioned on November 30th with the reserve price of UAH 400 million. The winner will “go home” with the license for 25Mhz of radio spectrum.
The regulator also said that it plans to sell three more 3G licenses in the future, although specific timeline was not unveiled.
At the moment, there is only one 3G license which is held by state-owned Ukrtelecom. Other players in the country include Kyivstar (41% of the market), UMC (32.9%), Astelit (21.6%), Ukrainian Radio Systems (3.6%), as well as Ukrtelecom and Golden Telecom, which both have less than 1% each.
