In 2019, the Canadian spectrum regulator ran an auction to allocate regional licenses in the 600 MHz band. The auction employed a CCA format with switching between regions.
We combined our expertise in auction theory and our experience from previous spectrum auctions to analyse the auction rules in detail and map out potential bid patterns.
We probed the auction rules for potential loopholes which could enable our client to win more spectrum at favourable prices.
With our assistance, the client attained a thorough understanding of the auction rules and the trade-offs associated with employing various bid strategies towards pursuing their objectives.
