Newcomers miss out in Czech 4G mobile license auction

By Robert Muller and Jason Hovet PRAGUE (Reuters) - The three existing Czech mobile operators, Telefonica Czech Republic, T-Mobile and Vodafone, won an auction of radio spectrum for 4G high-speed mobile data networks, the telecoms regulator said on Tuesday. The regulator, CTU, said two newcomers, Revolution Mobile and Sazka Telecommunications, did not win any frequencies - a surprise given that auction conditions included setting aside space for a fourth operator. The sale raised 8.5 billion crowns ($420.44 million) for the Czech state budget.
