(Telecompaper) Mexico's Secretariat of Communications and Transportation (SCT) is set to announce the winning bidders of its tender to build a national shared mobile network on 28 September, over a month later than planned, reports local daily El Universal, citing SCT head of telecoms policy Ezequiel Gil Huerta. The SCT initially said it would announce its decision on 24 August but the sheer number and complexity of the bids submitted has resulted in another postponement to the long-delayed project. The country formally launched the shared network tender in January, announcing that the winning bidder will be awarded 90 MHz of spectrum in the 700 MHz band and a 20-year public-private partnership to build the network in exchange for a commitment to cover at least 85 percent of the population.
