VIENNA, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Austria raised roughly 202
million euros ($240 million) in its second auction of 5G
licences, which was aimed at expanding the reach of broadband to
almost all the country and communities with poor internet,
telecoms regulator RTR said on Friday.
The auction for the 700, 1,500 and 2,100 MHz bands, which
will provide data rates needed for autonomous driving and to
connect machines and production sites, was initially planned for
April but was delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
