Ovum French communications regulator ARCEP has announced that from October 1, 2013 Bouygues Telecom will be permitted to refarm its spectrum in the 1,800-MHz band in order to provide 4G services. The regulator has decided to lift the GSM restrictions from Bouygues' 1800-MHz license, provided that it relinquishes a certain amount of its holding beforehand. In addition, all spectrum licenses in the country will become technologically neutral from May 2016.
