Romania-based Digi ruled out of bidding for Hungary 5G spectrum

BUDAPEST: Romania-based Digi Communications has been ruled out of the bidding process for high-speed 5G mobile spectrum in Hungary, national telecoms regulator NMHH said on Thursday.

The announcement follows a preliminary ruling in September, which excluded Digi and named registered bidders as Deutsche Telekom’s local unit Magyar Telekom, Britain’s Vodafone and Telenor.

The NMHH said Digi was not registered because it failed to meet the requirements for bidding. It did not elaborate.

Digi can appeal the ruling in court, the regulator said.
