Through Decision No. 2015-1454 of 24 November 2015, ARCEP accepted the bids that were made by Bouygues Telecom, Free Mobile, Orange France and SFR during the frequency allocation procedure for the 700 MHz band.

Tomorrow, ARCEP issued each of these candidates a licence to use frequencies in this band. This step marks the completion of the allocation procedure.
