(Telecompaper) The final stage of France's 5G auction should be rescheduled for September, according to the secretary of state for the telecom sector, Agnes Pannier-Runacher. Speaking to Le Figaro, she explained that the date will be set by telecom authority Arcep, noting that its president Sebastien Soriano shares the government's viewpoint. If the new timetable is respected, she added, France could see the introduction of the first 5G commercial offers before the end of the year.
