Kyivstar, Vodafone Ukraine, Intertelecom and lifecell are ready to finance the scientific-technical work for using such ranges as 800 MHz and 900 MHz for 4G and 3G respectively, liga.net reports.
It is noted that four mobile operators, such as Kyivstar, Vodafone Ukraine, Intertelecom and lifecell wrote to the National Commission for Regulation of Communication and Informatization about the willingness of funding.
According to preliminary estimates, the Big Four will have to pay UAH 5.5 mln for the so-called flight checks. In several airports, the joint operation of telecommunications and commercial transmitters will be tested, using the planes.
It was previously reported that Vodafone-Ukraine and lifecell stand for reallocation of spectrum within the range of 900 MHz, taking into account the interest of all operators.
