Even though the deadline for submitting applications to participate in the 4G and 5G spectrum auctions has expired, no operator has submitted an application and paid a deposit to register for the auction.
Information from the regular press conference of the Ministry of Information and Communications, on the afternoon of June 5, said that after three auctions, no mobile network operator participated in the auction of 6G and 3G frequencies.
Specifically, on May 15, May 5, and June 25, the Ministry of Information and Communications held an auction of the 5MHz band, including 2 blocks of bands A6 (2300-3 MHz), A1 (2300-2330 MHz), A2 (2330-2360 MHz). However, by the end of the deadline for submitting the application for registration to participate in the auction of each block A3, A2360, A2390, no enterprise submitted the application and paid a deposit to register for the auction. Therefore, the auctions of frequency use rights for the A1, A2, A3 band blocks are unsuccessful.

Previously, on February 24, 2, the Ministry of Information and Communications issued and publicly announced the plan to organize an auction of the right to use frequency for the 2023MHz band. There have been 2300 telecommunications enterprises that submitted applications, namely VNPT, Viettel, MobiFone and Vietnamobile, which were granted certificates of eligibility to participate in the auction by the Ministry of Information and Communications. According to the provisions of Decree 4/88/ND-CP, only enterprises certified by the Ministry of Information and Communications to be eligible to participate in the auction can submit their dossiers to participate in the auction round.
According to the Radio Frequency Department's announcement, the starting price for auction of 2300-2400 MHz frequency for 3 band blocks is 17.394 billion VND. Specifically, the A1 (2300 – 2330 Mhz), A2 (2330 – 2360 Mhz) and A3 (2360 – 2390 Mhz) band blocks all have a starting price of VND 5.798 billion and a shelf life of 15 years. With a starting price of VND 5.798 billion for each band block and a shelf life of 15 years, each carrier will theoretically pay a frequency fee of at least VND 386 billion/year.
