Tom,

re: Bouyges Telecom spectrum

<< is the 1800 mhz spectrum regulated differently than 900 mhz spectrum, or , does Bouyques have some unused 2.1 ghz spectrum that they bought but doesn't show up in the link since it is unused? >>

In France as in virtually all European (or MEA or Asian) countries where 1800 mhz cellular spectrum supplements 900 MHz it is generally regulated almost identically with 900 MHz spectrum.

In France, Bouyges Telecom is assigned spectrum within the 1800 MHz frequency bands only while Orange (France Telecom) and Cegetel/SFR (Vivendi) have spectrum in both the 900 & 1800 GSM bands.

Orange & Cegetel/SFR also both have 3G IMT-2000 2.1 GHz spectrum available as a result of applying in the fixed fee beauty contest.

Bouyges Telecom has no 2.1 GHz spectrum. They started to participate in the 3G license award process and then backed out.
