The Ministry of Transport and Communications of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, acting through the Posts and Telecommunications Department, will launch a 2600 MHz spectrum auction on 17 October. The government will offer 40 MHz of spectrum in the 2600 MHz frequency band. This spectrum can only be used for provision of broadband data services.
A total 40MHz of spectrum in the 2600MHz band (2575-2615 MHz) will be made available for this auction, comprised of 2x20MHz (2575-2595 MHz, 2595-2615 MHz) divided into three regions.
