en.Wedoany.com Reported - Three mobile operators in Indonesia have entered the next phase of the spectrum auction for the 700 MHz and 2.6 GHz bands. Following the conclusion of the auction phase on Tuesday (July 7, 2026), the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) has officially advanced the selection process to the band block selection phase, which is scheduled to take place over three days from July 8 to 10, 2026.

In an official statement, Komdigi noted that this phase is a critical step in the entire selection process, determining the specific spectrum blocks each operator will use for future mobile network development in Indonesia. All participants who took part in the auction phase are eligible to proceed to this next stage.

The three operators still involved in the selection process are Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, Telkomsel, and XLSmart, covering both the 700 MHz and 2.6 GHz bands. According to the selection document provisions, the band block selection phase includes six main agendas: block selection and block location selection for the 700 MHz and 2.6 GHz radio frequency band blocks, as well as the selection of villages or streets for mandatory mobile broadband internet access service coverage on both bands. This means participants must not only determine the spectrum blocks they will acquire but also begin identifying network construction commitments within areas that are part of the licensing obligations.

After all the above processes are completed, the selection committee will publicly announce the final results on the Komdigi official website. The announced information will include a ranking list of selection results, the bid amounts of each participant, and the allocation of spectrum blocks obtained by each operator. Komdigi stated that the entire selection process is designed to be transparent and competitive, aiming to produce spectrum allocations that support the balanced distribution of national digital infrastructure.
