(Telecompaper) The Italian government has blocked domestic operator Fastweb from contracting China's Huawei to supply equipment to build its 5G core network, according to three unnamed sources cited by Reuters. At a cabinet meeting, the government used its special 'golden power' vetting powers to block Fastweb from signing the deal, marking the first time Italy has vetoed a 5G core agreement involving Huawei. "The government has vetoed the operation, asking Fastweb to diversify its suppliers," a senior government source told Reuters.
