MILAN: An Italian regional court has dismissed a request by French telecoms and media group Iliad to cancel a 5G network-sharing agreement between rival Italian phone carriers Fastweb and Wind Tre, a court document showed on Friday.

Iliad, Italy's fourth-largest mobile phone player, filed a complaint a year ago, saying the deal - which received the green light by both the industry minister and the national communications watchdog - would restrict competition.

The court argued Iliad did not have the right to ask the annulment of a commercial agreement between two private companies and that its request was inadmissible, the document showed.
