entities interested in those frequencies may be reported to the UKE introductory offer until 13 February. The condition of the procedure is to pay the deposit, which for one packet is 3,097 million z?.

with the participation of qualified companies will be held responsible auction, divided into many rounds packages and prices rising after each of them.
