As a consumer-centric company, we remain committed to rolling out 5G connectivity across our network as fast as possible”, said Telenor CEO Jason King.

Telenor’s official commercial nationwide launch of 5G will be on June 10. By summer the network will cover the major cities and main seaside resorts.
