Spark seeks clearance to acquire
radio spectrum
The Commerce Commission has received an
application from Spark New Zealand Trading Limited (Spark)
seeking clearance to acquire the management rights to 70MHz
of radio spectrum in the 2300MHz band from Craig Wireless
Spectrum Operations Limited (Craig NZ) and Woosh Wireless
Holdings Limited (Woosh NZ).
The management rights being acquired by Spark have not been used since being awarded in 2007 and will expire on 31 December 2016 if they are not used to provide a service. Prior to completion of the transaction, Spark will be required to enter into a Management Rights Agreement with the Crown committing it to offering a fixed wireless broadband access service.
A public version of Spark’s application is available on the Clearances Register.
