The move comes 30 days after the NMHH outlined its plans for mobile frequency utilisations at a meeting with the Hungarian heads of Vodafone, Magyar Telekom and Telenor.

Vodafone is hoping to reach an out-of court settlement with the authority, Nepszabadsag writes.

The company argues that the licences of Magyar Telekom and Telenor have already been extended once, in 2007, so the principle of equal treatment would justify an automatic extension for Vodafone.

Vodafone's license expires in October 2014.
