Tender for two CDMA licenses by the end of next week

- The tender for two licenses for fixed wireless telephony and internet CDMA will be announced next week – said Milan Janković, the Executive Director of the Republic Telecommunications Agency of Serbia (Ratel).

- It is expected that the public tender will be published in “Official Bulletin”, “Politika” and “Financial Times” next week – said Janković.

He specified that the licenses would be issued for national coverage and that, according to the plan, CDMA should be first introduced in sparsely populated rural areas that lack telephone connections (during the first six months following the issuing of the licenses), and then in some other parts of Serbia that have no telephone connections.

According to some earlier announcements, the people in Ratel expect that the licenses for introduction of CDMA technology, which is suitable for rural areas without fixed telephony, will be issued prior to the beginning of summer.
