BONN, Germany: The way Germany's 5G auction is being run is creating a shortage of spectrum that risks forcing up costs and leaving operators short of cash to build next-generation networks, Deutsche Telekom CEO Tim Hoettges said on Thursday.
Four operators are, meanwhile, vying for a total of 420 MHz of spectrum in the 2 GHz and 3.6 GHz bands in an auction that started last week, with combined bids topping 1 billion euros on Wednesday evening. A court threw out challenges filed by the operators to halt the auction. Litigation is still outstanding that could put the auction's results to the test retroactively, the industry says.Hoettges repeated earlier complaints about delays to winning local approvals to erect new telecoms masts in Germany, which can take two years or more, and urged the authorities to lighten regulation to encourage investment.
