Remember Canada’s Spectrum Auction? Well, it’s still not over yet. While nearly 300 individual licenses totaling nearly 4.2 Billion dollars have been settled, a few bidders are still fussing over a tiny number of remaining licenses. The last few days have seen only 3-5 licenses changing hands for increment tens of thousands of dollars or 0.002% of the total. Round 212 action (only 5 new bids):
Licence Service Area Previous High Bidder Current High Bidder 302d 10 MHz-Prince Edward Island Globalive Wireless SaskTel 304d 10 MHz-Cape Breton Globalive Wireless SaskTel 356d 10 MHz-Thompson/Cariboo Rich Telecom Corp. 1380057 Alberta Ltd. 316e 10 MHz-Pembroke Globalive Wireless Bell Mobility Inc. 331e 10 MHz-Chatham Canquest Bell Mobility Inc.
Come on kids, lets wrap this up so all can get to finally delivering wonderful new services on these ready and waiting airwaves. And don’t ask us why SaskTel suddenly has a hankering for Anne of Green Gables. Maybe there’s a potato connection?
To try and accelerate the close of the auction, Industry Canada has added an 11th round of bidding to schedule for the remainder of this week.
