Sweden suspends 5G auctions as court inhibits Huawei ban


STOCKHOLM (Xinhua): The Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS) was forced to suspend the country's 5G spectrum auctions set for Tuesday (Nov 10), after the administrative court in Stockholm inhibited on Monday parts of the authority's earlier decision that had banned the use of equipment made by Chinese telecom giant Huawei in Sweden's 5G networks.

"The Administrative Court has today made a decision, which means that certain parts of PTS' decision prior to the upcoming 5G auction will not apply until further notice. The Administrative Court has, among others, stated that the decision affects Huawei's rights in such a way that the company has the right to appeal the decision," said the court in a press release on Monday.
