Award of mobile telephony frequencies: Consultation of telecommunications operators regarding the draft tender documents
The Federal Communications Commission (ComCom) has instructed the Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM) to prepare for awarding the mobile radio frequencies that will become available in 2029. In the interests of competition and transparency, ComCom is planning a public tender for these frequencies, probably in 2026.
In this context, OFCOM has drawn up draft tender documents and published them on 14 october 2025. Interested parties had until 5 December 2025 to comment on these documents as part of a consultation process aimed in particular at mobile network operators planning to participate in the frequency award procedure.
After evaluating the consultation, ComCom will decide on the next steps and on the final tender documents. The comments from interested parties have been published on the OFCOM website.
