JT and Sure may have ‘breached competition law’ with 5G networks
Jersey and Guernsey’s Competition and Regulation authorities are alleging that JT and Sure may have breached competition law over the construction and operation of 5G networks.
CICRA, comprised of Jersey and Guernsey’s Competition and Regulation authorities, released a statement saying the two companies will now have the opportunity to respond to allegations.
