Presumably it's about judging what is an acceptable degree of risk vs stripping out all Huawei equipment immediately and effecively crippling the nation's comms infrastrtucture.
- ben_w 6y agoIs 5G really already “critical”? I thought it was only just starting to be phased in when the virus became more important to worry about.
- dazc 6y agoIt isn't just 5G, Huawei equipment is used throughout the telecom industry.
- nicky0 6y agoWhich does raise the question, why are we concerned about 5G when Huawei is presumably also behind much of the 4G and other existing infrastructure? What's the difference in terms of security risk?
