Regulation 91 Assignment stage options for 2.6 GHz paired frequency lotsI1

United Kingdom

(1)

Where no winning principal stage bid included a 2.6 GHz concurrent low power 10 MHz lot or a 2.6 GHz concurrent low power 20 MHz lot, the assignment stage options for a bidder eligible to bid under regulation 88(1)(b), in respect of the 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots included in its winning principal stage bid, shall be those blocks of numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots which satisfy the following conditions—

(a)

the number of 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots contained in the block is equal to the number of such lots included in the bidder’s winning principal stage bid; and

(b)

if that winning bidder were assigned the frequencies corresponding to that block the following conditions would be satisfied—

(i)

each other winning bidder that included 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots in its winning principal stage bid could be assigned frequencies corresponding to a block of numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots that, in respect of that bidder’s winning principal stage bid, satisfies the condition in sub-paragraph (a);

(ii)

no numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lot would be included in more than one of the following blocks of numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency blocks—

(aa)

the block that is the assignment stage option under this paragraph; and

(bb)

the blocks comprising the frequencies to be assigned to other winning bidders that included 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots in their winning principal stage bids;

(iii)

the blocks of numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots referred to in sub-paragraph (ii) would, taken together, form a single block of numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots; and

(iv)

2.6 GHz paired frequency lot 1 would be included in that single block of numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots.

(2)

Where no winning principal stage bid included a 2.6 GHz concurrent low power 20 MHz lot, but one or more winning principal stage bids included a 2.6 GHz concurrent low power 10 MHz lot, the assignment stage options for a bidder eligible to bid under regulation 88(1)(b), in respect of the 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots included in its winning principal stage bid, shall be those blocks of numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots which satisfy the following conditions—

(a)

the number of 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots contained in the block is equal to the number of 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots included in the bidder’s winning principal stage bid; and

(b)

if that winning bidder were assigned the frequencies corresponding to that block of 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots, the following conditions would be satisfied—

(i)

(ii)

the winning bidders that included a 2.6 GHz concurrent low power 10 MHz lot in their winning principal stage bids could, collectively, be assigned frequencies corresponding to a single block of two numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots that does not include any of the following lots—

(aa)

2.6 GHz paired frequency lot 1

(bb)

2.6 GHz paired frequency lot 2;

(cc)

2.6 GHz paired frequency lot 13;

(dd)

2.6 GHz paired frequency lot 14;

(iii)

no numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lot would be included in more than one of the following blocks of numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots—

(aa)

the block that is the assignment stage option under this paragraph;

(bb)

the blocks comprising the frequencies to be assigned to other winning bidders that included 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots in their winning principal stage bids; and

(cc)

the block comprising the frequencies to be assigned to winning bidders that included a 2.6 GHz concurrent low power 10 MHz lot in their winning principal stage bids;

(iv)

the blocks of numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots referred to in sub-paragraph (iii) would, taken together, form a single block of numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots; and

(v)

2.6 GHz paired frequency lot 1 would be included in that single block of numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots.

(3)

Where one or more winning principal stage bids included a 2.6 GHz concurrent low power 20 MHz lot, the assignment stage options for a bidder eligible to bid under regulation 88(1)(b), in respect of the 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots included in its winning principal stage bid, shall be those blocks of numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots which satisfy the following conditions—

(a)

the number of 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots contained in the block is equal to the number of 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots included in the bidder’s winning principal stage bid; and

(b)

if that winning bidder were assigned the frequencies corresponding to that block of numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots, the following conditions would be satisfied—

(i)

(ii)

the winning bidders that included a 2.6 GHz concurrent low power 20 MHz lot in their winning principal stage bids could, collectively, be assigned the frequencies corresponding to a single block of four numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots that does not include any of the following lots—

(aa)

2.6 GHz paired frequency lot 1

(bb)

2.6 GHz paired frequency lot 2;

(cc)

2.6 GHz paired frequency lot 13;

(dd)

2.6 GHz paired frequency lot 14;

(iii)

no numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots would be included in more than one of the following blocks of numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots—

(aa)

the block that is the assignment stage option under this paragraph;

(bb)

the blocks comprising the frequencies to be assigned to other winning bidders that included 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots in their winning principal stage bids; and

(cc)

the block comprising the frequencies to be assigned to winning bidders that included a 2.6 GHz concurrent low power 10 MHz lot in their winning principal stage bids;

(iv)

the blocks of numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots referred to in sub-paragraph (iii) would, taken together, form a single block of numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots; and

(v)

2.6 GHz paired frequency lot 1 would be included in that single block of numbered 2.6 GHz paired frequency lots.
