The National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) finalized the 5G auction this Friday (5).
This Thursday’s event involved the right to use the 26 GHz band, exclusive to 5G, and which offers less response time due to its greater transmission capacity.
The companies will have the obligation to bring internet to schools.
Yesterday, the superintendent of competition at Anatel and chairman of the 5G commission, Abraão Balbino e Silva, said that the expectation for today is R$ 800 million in grants.
The value is significantly lower than the R$ 7 billion moved in the first part of the auction, according to him, due to the lower exploitation potential of the 26 GHz band.
Until now, Vivo, Claro, TIM, Algar Telecom, Fly Likn and Neko Serviços de Comunicações, Entertainment and Education took lots. These last two are part of the group of six new telecommunications operators in the country.

First day result
Over Thursday (4), 24 lots were sold, moving almost R$ 7 billion in grants.
This amount is charged only for the right to exploit the tracks. In addition, the winners of the auction will have to invest in the networks and infrastructure of the Brazilian telecommunications sector.
Examples of these investments are the guarantee of 4G internet on Brazilian highways and in cities and towns that do not yet have a network. Installation of a fiber optic network, via river, in the Amazon region. And also the guarantee of quality mobile internet in public schools of basic education.
The expectation, according to Anatel and the government, is that almost R$ 50 billion will be collected at the end of the auction. Of this total, R$ 40 billion will be earmarked for investments in digital connectivity and R$ 10 billion will be for the Treasury.
On this Thursday, only the lots and blocks of the 700 MHz, 3.5 GHz and 2.3 GHz bands were auctioned.
With the exception of the 700 MHz band, all lots for the provision of 5G service in the national area were won by one of the three largest operators participating in the event: Vivo, Tim or Claro.
In total, there are already four new telecommunication operators that still did not offer mobile service in Brazil. They are: Winity II Telecom, Brisanet Serviços de Telecomunicações SA, Cloud2U Indústria e Comércio de Equipamentos Eletrônicos LTDA and the 5G Sul Consortium.
