Belgium to Auction New Mobile Licenses in September Tijd Says By Thomas Mulier Brussels, Feb. 19 (Bloomberg) -- The Belgian government will begin auctioning four licenses to build and operate high-speed UMTS networks for mobile phones in September, De Financieel- Economische Tijd reported, citing Belgian Telecommunications Minister Rik Daems. The government plans to confer the licenses in December and will give more details before June, the newspaper said. Seventeen companies, including British Telecommunications Plc, Colt Telecom Group Plc, Telenet NV, and Vodafone AirTouch Plc, have had preliminary contacts with the government for more information, the newspaper said. The three existing mobile phone networks in Belgium are operated by Proximus, a unit of Belgacom SA; Mobistar SA, a unit of France Telecom SA; and a joint venture between Royal KPN NV and Orange Plc.
