Swedish regulator PTS said it intends to extend permits for use of the 2.6 GHz band, in order to align allocation of those frequencies with allocation of 2.1 GHz spectrum. It said consultations earlier this year with affected parties had found them to support the alignment.
PTS said extending the 2.6 GHz permits is the most favourable way to achieve effective use of frequencies, among other things. The extension can only take effect once a new telecommunications law enters force. The 2.6 GHz permits will be extended until 31 December 2025 from the end of 2023.
