  In October 2013, 
  Industry Canada released its consultation paper, 
  seeking comments on licencing considerations related to auction 
  format, rules and processes, as well as on conditions of licence for

  January 10, 2014.

  time. Key things to note: 
  (cid:129) At the end of the current licence term, new cellular and PCS licences 
  with a 20-year term will be issued to licensees that are in compliance 
  with all licence conditions. 
  
  Key things to note about 2500–2690 MHz spectrum policy: 
  (cid:129) Industry Canada adopted a spectrum cap (not an auction cap like in 
  the 700 MHz auction). No carrier participating in the auction may 
  possess more than 40 MHz of 2500–2690 MHz spectrum. Rogers is 
  grandfathered with respect to our holdings in those situations where 
  we already hold more than 40 MHz of this spectrum. We will not be 
  required to return spectrum.
