Telecoms regulator Ofcom has unveiled plans to sell a chunk of radio spectrum for new broadband and mobile services.

The sale, which could be completed by the end of 2007, will see 215 megahertz (MHz) of frequency sold - the largest single sale of radio spectrum to date.

Ofcom said the spectrum could be put to a range of uses, such as in high-speed broadband and mobile TV services.

It said the move, which is expected to raise large sums, would fuel innovation and competition in wireless products.
