France to award additional 3G licenses by September

PARIS—France has set 16 May as its deadline for candidates to submit bids for two remaining third-generation (3G) licenses. Winners will be announced by the end of September.

This year’s attempted sale of four 3G licenses ended with only two licenses being awarded due to a lack of interest. The additional licenses will be awarded via a “beauty contest” with a much-reduced price tag of e619 million (US$559.5 million) each.
