Irish regulator ComReg has pushed back the consultation deadline for its proposed 4G auction rules by two weeks to 14 October.
A spokesman for the regulator was unable to confirm before the press deadline whether it still planned to make a final decision on the proposed auction rules this December.
Comreg has proposed to run the sale process of frequencies in the 800 MHz, 900 MHz and 1800 MHz spectrum bands in two auctions. The first will determine the amount of frequencies a bidder has won rights to in what bands, subject to a ten block competition cap, which also limits bids to a maximum of four blocks below 1000 MHz. The second phase determines the specific frequency within a spectrum band.
The regulator has previously said that it expects to start the first phase of its spectrum auction within the next 4-6 months.
