Telstra acquired rights to 110MHz in the mid-band frequencies for AUD545.6 million, including 80MHz in Sydney and Melbourne.

Optus spent AUD33.5 million on 20MHz of 3.7GHz spectrum covering northern New South Wales and South Queensland. The operator said the allocation adds to its 35MHz in the 3.6GHz band.

TPG Telecom, through its infrastructure subsidiary Mobile JV, won 44 lots of 3.7GHz spectrum for AUD128.2 million. The includes 20MHz in Sydney and Melbourne, 30MHz in Adelaide, 25MHz in Brisbane, Canberra and Perth, and 50MHz in Hobart.

NBN Co was assigned 200 lots in the 3.4GHz band for AUD14.4 million.  

All but 14 of the 588 lots available were allocated to bidders.
