BIPT, the Belgian telecoms regulator, said that Telenet Tecteo Bidco is set to become the country’s fourth 3G operator, following the issue of licences to Belgacom, Mobistar and KPN Belgium in 2001. Bidco has pledged EUR616,660 per month to use the spectrum, and can pay the EUR71.5 million fee in either annual instalments or as a one-off charge. Telenet and Tecteo are both Belgian cable operators.
