Colombia's 5G Auction Regulation Updates
Colombia continues to introduce modifications to resolution 3947, which regulates the 5G auction process in the country. One day after announcing the new formal schedule, the Ministry of Information and Communications Technologies (MinTIC) published resolution 4185.
This resolution states that the costs incurred to ensure coexistence with other radio services during the deployment of IMT networks will not be deducted from the reserve value of the 80 MHz blocks in the 3500 MHz band, as established within the resolution. It also cites the recommendation issued for this purpose by the Superintendency of Industry and Commerce (SIC).
Additionally, it specifies that the filters to avoid interference with existing satellite ground stations operating in the range of 3700 to 3900 MHz will be provided by the assignees of the 3500 MHz band.
