The structure of the 5G Dual Network Implementation Task Force is now being contemplated to address its main focus which is to resolve the issues related to the 5G access agreement between service providers with DNB and also their equity participation in DNB.
Those two main issues will be discussed in more detail in the working groups established and expected to be finalised as early as the end of June 2023.
