mmO2 to bid for 3G license in Ireland

date: March 27, 2002

mmO2 has submitted an application to the Office of the Director of Telecommunications Regulation for the bidding of 3G licenses in Ireland.

Danuta Gray, Chief Executive of mmO2's Irish operator, Digifone, said "'Our application today is a major milestone for our business. The award of a 3G licence will allow us to offer to the Irish people the kind of broadband mobile services which we know they have a huge appetite for. We have a very clear and detailed vision of how the availability of 3G wireless services will help to bridge the digital divide and so bring enormous benefit to all sectors of the Irish economy and society."

He then went on to say, "We believe that we are in a uniquely strong position when it comes to making 3G work in Ireland. Through our operation in the Isle of Man, we were the first operator in Europe to launch a fully operational 3G service. This experience gives us an enormous head start here and we understand the challenge of making 3G a success in Ireland. Today's submission of our bid, along with the commitments contained within it, represents our unflinching commitment to meeting that challenge."

mmO2 already holds 3G licenses for the UK, Germany, Netherlands and the Isle of Man.
