The State Secretariat for Telecommunications and Digital Infrastructures (SETELECO) submits to all interested parties (operators, public administrations, National Commission of Markets and Competition and other agents) the preliminary list of areas in which it has been identified that there is currently no coverage of 4G mobile communications networks providing at least 10 Mbps downstream and 3 Mbps upstream (eligible areas).
The objective of the consultation is to consolidate this preliminary identification in order to obtain the definitive map of eligible areas, in which it is considered that, in accordance with the State aid regulations, it is possible to grant public aid during this year for the realization of projects for the provision of the set of passive infrastructures that make it possible, through their use by the operators of electronic communications services, to provide very high speed broadband mobile communications services, both downwards and upwards, in the geographical areas throughout the national territory identified as eligible areas.
Likewise, SETELECO submits to public consultation the main characteristics of the “REGULATORY BASES OF THE GRANTING OF AID FOR THE PROVISION OF THE SET OF PASSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE NECESSARY FOR THE PROVISION OF MOBILE COMMUNICATION SERVICES IN AREAS WHERE THERE IS NO MOBILE COVERAGE WITH 4G TECHNOLOGY AT A MINIMUM SPEED OF 10 MbPS”.
To facilitate the location and analysis of the zones, geographic layer files are provided in kmz and shape format that allow their treatment in any georeferenced information system (GIS). Also, a cartographic viewer is available in this link.
The answers should be presented in electronic format, through the generic form entitled “Other requests of a general nature sent to the Sub-Directorate General of Planning and Management of the Radio Spectrum” located in the file of the electronic headquarters of the Ministry of the Radio Spectrum link.
