In April 2011, the Autoridade Nacional de Comunicações (regulator, supervisor and representative of the communications sector in Portugal - ANACOM) launched two consultations in the area of electronic communications.
ANACOM launched a consultation on the allocation of licenses for wireless frequencies in the 450, 800, 900 and 1800MHz bands, as well as 2.1 and 2.6GHz. The regulation concerned focuses on the granting of rights of frequency use over a massive section of the spectrum. This is intended for the provision of publicly available terrestrial electronic communication services in a broad consideration.
Practical aspects of the allocation process are also set out. This consultation closes on 2 May 2011.
The second consultation focused on limitations to the number of usage rights of frequencies in the 450, 800, 900 and 1800MHz bands, as well as 2.1 and 2.6GHz. This consultation closes on 14 April 2011.
