TPG, MyRepublic pre-qualify for Singapore spectrum auction

The Info-communications Media Development Authority of Singapore (IMDA) has announced that Australian operator TPG Telecom and internet start-up MyRepublic have pre-qualified to participate in the New Entrant Spectrum Auction, scheduled for December. The third interested bidder, airYotta, has been disqualified because it did not fully meet the auction requirements, the IMDA said, without providing details on the specific reasons for disqualifying the company.

The auction will select Singapore's fourth mobile operator. Three companies had applied to become Singapore's fourth operator, namely TPG Telecom, MyRepublic, and AirYotta. Singapore is expected to award the spectrum license by April 2017. The winning applicant will compete with the existing operators Singtel, M1 and Starhub.
