Eurobites: Telia claims breakthrough with Oslo subway project
Telia says it has hit a milestone in bringing better mobile coverage to Oslo’s subway, a network where connectivity has long lagged behind street-level service. Details are thin, but the project is framed as a step toward more consistent 5G-ready coverage for passengers across the Norwegian capital’s underground system.

Virgin Media O2’s direct-to-consumer partnership with SpaceX’s Starlink faces questions over how satellite and terrestrial services will fit together in practice, and regulators and critics continue to target VMO2 over service and competition concerns.
