The Italian communications authority has just approved the regulations on the bidding process for the allocation of DTT frequencies (multiplex).
The regulations are the result of a consultation process that involved various stakeholders and the European Commission. According to the new regulations 3 multiplexes will be made available for 20 years. No operator is allowed to hold more than 5 muxes and operators holding 3 or more muxes cannot participate to the bid. Moreover, in order to guarantee a free market competition, new entrants or “small” operators (holding only 1 mux) can bid for all the 3 muxes, while operators holding 2 muxes can bid for 2 of the 3 reserved muxes. Operators active through other platforms can bid for only 1 mux. The Italian Ministry of the Economic Development is now requested to approve the bidding proceeding.
Will this new regulation finally solve the DTT frequencies saga? Feel free to contact me, Giulio Coraggio, if you want to discuss the topic.
