BUDAPEST, Nov 28 (Reuters) - 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.
A spokesman for Digi in Hungary had no immediate comment.
The regulator, which launched the 5G tender process in June,
had previously aimed to wrap up the sale of more than 400 MHz of
spectrum by the end of October or early November.
