Orange and Vodafone extend 2100MHz licences

Romania’s National Authority for Management and Regulation in Communications (ANCOM) has confirmed that Orange Romania and Vodafone Romania have both paid EUR30 million (USD32.9 million) to extend their 2100MHz licences until end-2031, following a government decision establishing the renewal fees last week. The two operators’ 2100MHz licences, which are currently used to provide 3G services, are now valid for the period 1 April 2020 until 31 December 2031.
