The Case: A 5G Investor Sues Telecom Provider Over Breach of Contract Claims
An investor in a 2.5 GHz wireless spectrum used to transmit 5G, sued a leading provider of telecommunications for breach of contract and other claims valued at around $100 million. The plaintiff claimed the defendant devalued his interest in the spectrum after the company acquired and assigned the spectrum to itself.
