Singapore''s government will auction four 3G licenses to mobile phone companies, enough to enable the island-state''s three incumbent operators and one newcomer to bid.
While European governments are raising big bucks by auctioning 3G mobile phone licences, their New Zealand counterpart is having a tough time getting more than the reserve prices it set.
Moving ahead with its plan to build a pan-European mobile phone network, Hong Kong conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa has teamed up with Investor AB to bid for a 3G licence in Sweden.
