Vodafone’s broadband services joint venture with Hutchison Telecommunications (Australia) Ltd has partnered with Nokia to roll out 5G services in Australia, the companies said on Jan. 6.

The 5G drive comes as the joint venture is caught in a legal appeal process against an antitrust regulator’s move to block its proposed AUD$15 billion mega-merger with TPG Telecom Ltd.
