The state telecoms commission informs that 12 companies have submitted expressions of interest in the country’s fourth licence for cell-phone services before the May 20 deadline. The telecoms regulator will announce rules for auctioning the licence in several weeks. The price threshold is set at BGN 40mn (EUR 20.5mn). The three incumbent cell-phone operators have raised the country’s penetration rate in terms of active SIM cards to 130% of the population as of the end of March.
