This announcement was made at the opening of the financial bids which took place at the Gulf Hotel today in the presence of representatives of the bidders, media and other officials invited by the TRA.
The Acting General Director of the TRA, Dr. Mohammed J.K. Alghatam, made the following statement after the announcement of the winners:
"We will be awarding the Licenses by 8 January 2007, in accordance with the rules of the auction and after completion of the post-evaluation obligations. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the parties involved in this process beginning with the Ministry of Transportation, which played a vital role in issuing the Spectrum Policy for the Kingdom of Bahrain. Without such a policy we would not have been able to be here today awarding the licenses for the Fixed Wireless spectrum."
He further added: "I would also like to thank all those who contributed with their feedback throughout the various stages of this process. Last but not least, I extend my thanks to the TRA team and the international experts involved in the auction's evaluation process. I would also like to congratulate the two highest bidders today, and remind them that consumers in Bahrain are expecting to see and use new and innovative services that cater for their evolving needs."
