Spain completes its 5G spectrum auction after an 18-month holdup

Following a lengthy Covid-19 pandemic-induced delay, Spain's regulator proceeded with its 700MHz spectrum auction in July 2021.

All three mobile operators able to submit bids were successful, with Másmóvil electing to withdraw as it was otherwise occupied with its takeover of the Basque fixed network operator and MVNO Euskaltel.

Movistar paid slightly less than Vodafone and Orange, but it is subject to faster rollout conditions than the other two.

The 5G-capable spectrum was being used for digital broadcasting, but was released for 5G use in March 2020 when broadcasters switched to a lower spectrum band.
