The General Director of Telecommunications, Roberto Sánchez, confirmed to news agency EFE the migration plans and added that on June 30th all DTT migration in the country will be completed.
In March the auction for 5G licences in the country will take place, and the Administration is set to approve a new regulatory framework in the coming weeks.
