Estas licitaciones se instrumentaron simultáneamente mediante el inicio de un procedimiento de audiencias comparadas, seguidas por una subasta de precio ascendente, con topes de acumulación de espectro. Las ganancias fueron i) incremento de 55.0% en el promedio de tenencia de espectro; ii) reducción de 14.3% en las asimetrías entre operadores por región; iii) el total pagado en la subasta más las obligaciones de pagos futuros asciende a 28 871 millones de pesos (2 309 millones de dólares), y iv) por cada peso que ingresa al Estado se genera una ganancia de 8.8 pesos en excedente del consumidor. Finalmente, si se revierte la decisión, se genera una pérdida en bienestar entre 24 170 y 35 001 millones de pesos.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT In 2010, the Federal Telecommunications Commission completed auctions 20 (30 MHz in the band of 1.9GHz) and 21 (90 MHz in the band of 1.7-2. 1 GHz) with the goal of positively impacting the coverage, quality, competition and investment in the sector. These processes were implemented simultaneously by a procedure of comparative hearings, followed by an auction of upward price, with accumulation of spectrum caps. The benefits were i) increase of 55.0% in the average tenure of spectrum; ii) reduction of 14.3% in the asymmetries between operators by region; iii) the total paid in the auction plus future payment obligations accounted for 28 871 million pesos (USD 2 309 million); iv) for each peso that State gets, it is generated a gain of 8.8 pesos in consumer surplus. Finally, if the decision is reversed, it is generated a social welfare loss from 24 170 to 35 001 million pesos.]]></p></abstract>
