The auction is expected to take place towards the end of January, 2014. <br>The Commission has, as a complement to its Open Access Broadband Strategy, decided to assign the 1 slot of 30MHz nationally available in the 2.3 GHz band for the delivery of broadband wireless access service at the wholesale level, to provide ISP's and other Retail Telecoms Service Providers with the requisite bandwidth to service their subscribers. This wholesale broadband provider will have the required spectrum to expand wireless broadband access across the country to ISPs and other Retail Telecoms Service Providers for the provision of retail high speed internet access services.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;
