Nipple Piercing Man Pro E Contro

Finally, Wi-Max licenses

The Ministry of Communications has received 29 bids for the auction in Italy on the allocation of the 35 frequency licenses Wi-Max (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access), the telecommunications network to broadband and wireless. The schedule shall provide in the coming days, the opening and examination of the envelopes and then open the competitive auction for the allocation of the various lots that will be managed by the Ministry of Communications. The next step of the way will be the opening of the envelopes, scheduled for Jan. 30.

So after months of "rumors" and discussions on the topic of WiMAX, the big market players have been active: the offers presentate ci sono infatti quelle di Telecom Italia, Wind e Fastweb. A inizio dicembre erano state 48 le aziende che avevano manifestato il loro interesse, e che sono poi state selezionate dal ministero delle Comunicazioni.

L´ultima delle grandi aziende a presentare l'offerta economica è stata la Wind, mentre fin dalla prima fase della gara, erano risultati assenti gli altri due importanti operatori: H3g e Vodafone. Le licenze in gara sono 35 e hanno la durata di 15 anni. Ce ne sono 14 nelle 7 macro-aree in cui è stato suddiviso il paese (2 per ciascuna macro-area: Lombardia-Bolzano-Trento; Valle d'Aosta-Piemonte-Liguria-Toscana; Friuli Venezia Giulia-Veneto-Emilia Romagna-Marche; Umbria-Lazio-Abruzzo-Molise; Campania-Puglia-Basilicata-Calabria; Sicily and Sardinia) with the proviso that one and the same person may be assigned a user fee only for macro-region.

A is theoretically possible that an operator apply for all macro-areas will be able to win the bids all, creating a national network. The remaining 21 licenses are a regional dimension and will be "primarily restricted to competitors who do not already have UMTS licenses."
