Nokia says has launched legal challenge to 5G exclusion in Romania
Published on: Thursday 31 March 2022
Finnish network equipment maker Nokia said on Thursday it had launched a legal challenge to a decision by the Romanian government to exclude it from selling 5G technology in the country. Last year, Romania's centrist government approved a United States-backed bill that effectively barred China's Huawei from taking part in its 5G network development. "We can confirm that in February we were advised that we had been denied the authorisation to provide 5G infrastructure equipment in Romania by the Romanian government," Nokia said in a statement.
