HUAWEI 5G TO BE REMOVED FROM UK
UK telecoms providers are being banned from purchasing Huawei 5G equipment after 31st December 2020. In addition, the House of Commons has declared that all providers must remove the Chinese firm’s 5G kit from their networks by 2027. Digital Secretary Oliver Dowden said that a review by the National Cyber Security Centre informed the decision, with particular concerns over political tensions, the coronavirus pandemic, and China’s treatment of Hong Kong.
