Vodafone returns frequencies to the State due to lack of 5G use

Vodafone España has formally given up its spectrum concession in the 26 GHz band, returning 400 MHz to the State. The move aims to avoid paying annual fees associated with these frequencies, estimated at 160,000 euros per year. The concessions in the millimetric band, meant for high-capacity zones with heavy traffic, have only seven active sites nationwide, none of which belong to Vodafone.
