7月31日,在德国西南部莱茵兰—普法尔茨州首府美因茨开始的一场特殊的拍卖活动成了德国新闻媒体的热点新闻:执槌主拍的不是什么拍卖行,而是德国政府部门:参加竞拍的也非收藏爱好者,而是欧洲的7家大电信公司;拍卖品更是非同寻常,它是第三代移动电话通信频率的使用执照。由于频带宽度有限,有关专家预计持续数周的竞拍会非常激烈,成交价可能比德国政府的报价高出十几倍甚至几十倍。这场拍卖从一个侧面反映了欧洲国家正在紧锣密鼓地推广一个未来信息产业的“拳头产品”——通用移动通信系统(UMTS)。
On July 31, a special auction started in Mainz, the capital of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate in south-western Germany, became a hot news story for German news media: The main auction was not an auction house, but Germany Government departments: bidding is not a collector of love, but the seven major telecommunications companies in Europe; auction is even more unusual, it is the third generation mobile phone communication frequency license. Due to the limited bandwidth, experts predict the auction will be very intense for several weeks, the transaction price may be higher than the German government’s offer a dozen times or even several times. This auction from one aspect reflects the European countries are in full swing to promote a future of the information industry, “the fist product” - Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS).
