Dutch court rejects attempt to stop 5G rollout over health concerns

AMSTERDAM, May 25 (Reuters) - A court in the Netherlands on
Monday rejected a suit brought by a group seeking to halt the
country's 5G telecommunications network rollout over possible
health concerns.

In a summary ruling, the Hague District Court said that the
state did not have to ensure that "every risk" posed by 5G cell
towers be prevented, but rather that the risks and benefits had
to be assessed in a structured way.

Members of the group Stop5GNL had argued that the auction
next month of the frequencies cell providers intend to use for
5G should be halted.
