MEXICO CITY-One year after becoming a winner in Mexico’s PCS auction, Unefon has finally paid for its spectrum. Fellow auction winner Miditel, on the other hand, defaulted on its payments and lost its spectrum.
It’s been a long process for both of the companies. The Mexican government first started the auction back in November 1997 to grant both personal communications services (PCS) and wireless local loop (WLL) licenses. The auction process ended six months later in May 1998 with PCS winners including Iusacell, Pegaso PCS (Leap Wireless) and Telcel.
