LONDON (WiMAX Day). Following the announcement of Ofcom that it intends to auction 2.6 GHz spectrum next year, The Independent in England yesterday published an article that reports the interest of British Telecom (BT) in obtaining this spectrum at auction, when available. The Independent stated that “BT is interested in offering the wider-ranging WiMAX technology but does not currently own appropriate spectrum to roll out the service.” The article also quotes a spokesman for BT saying “We are naturally interested in the potential of this spectrum and we continue to assess its possible uses, including the possibility of WiMAX.”
