Vodafone Sweden will not appeal against PTS's decision
December 13, 2002
Vodafone Sweden will not be appealing against the decision of the
Swedish National Post and Telecom Agency (PTS) about leaving the
terms and conditions applying to Vodafone Sweden's UMTS license
unchanged. "We have not seen an improvement in the handling of planning
permission by the municipalities and we stand by our assessment
that we will be unable to complete the construction of our UMTS
network by the end of December 2003. Nevertheless, we have decided
to monitor events carefully as they unfold and see whether the measures
outlined by PTS in its decision actually help to speed up the handling
of planning permission and frequency issues," says Jon Risfelt,
President and CEO of Vodafone Sweden.
In September, Vodafone Sweden applied for changes to the terms
and conditions applying to its UMTS license. Vodafone Sweden requested
a two- year postponement to the end of December 2005 of the deadline
on providing 99,98% population coverage in its UMTS network. In
its application, Vodafone Sweden referred to the sluggishness of
a number of Swedish municipalities in handling planning permission
and to the slowness of the Swedish Armed Forces in handling frequency
issues.
In its decision not to change the terms and conditions applying
to Vodafone Sweden's UMTS license, PTS claims that several measures
implemented by both PTS and the Swedish Armed Forces will improve
the handling of both planning permission and frequency issues.
"Although we do not share PTS's view that these measures will speed
up the process of granting the requisite permits, we have decided
to give PTS the benefit of the doubt. This is why we will be carefully
following developments in the near future. If the situation does
not improve, we will probably be submitting a new application at
a later date," says Jon Risfelt.
