Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) has launched a consultation on the auctioning and licensing of 600MHz wireless spectrum — a low-band spectrum that provides significant range and is currently being used by T-Mobile in the U.S. to enhance rural coverage and expand its LTE network.
The spectrum packages would allow incumbents Bell, Rogers and Telus to broaden and improve their networks, while letting new entrants or regional providers make their networks competitive with the larger national brands.
In total, the proposed opening bids for the spectrum blocks being offered nationwide (shown below) is set at $1.537 billion CAD.
