The government is expected to say that no new 5G equipment from the Chinese firm can be installed after 2021, and that all its existing 5G kit must be removed later - possibly by 2025. "If you wanted to have no Huawei in the whole of the telecoms infrastructure across the whole of the UK, I think that's impossible to do in under 10 years."In addition, its Openreach division uses Huawei to provide the"access technology" in its exchanges to provide fibre to the premises broadband - effectively converting electrical signals into light-based ones.
Mr Jansen also repeated a warning first given by his firm last week, saying that"outages would be possible"He added that it would still need to install software provided by Huawei for some time to come."If you don't have those software upgrades, you're running gaps in critical software that could have security implications."Boris Johnson will chair a meeting of the National Security Council on Tuesday, at which a final decision over Huawei will be taken.
Not as if they didn't see this coming! Maybe they should have spent the money upfront for equipment not made by slave labor in China! Plenty of local alternatives.
We understand why. Shameful.
BT are such a slow moving dinosaur of a company. They need to shape up.
What utter cobblers, so what you saying then? That we're stuck with Huawei 5G for the next 10 years? Wtf
back_the_BBC I suppose they bought it to mothball it, then put it in a block / banned / foreign threat part of domestic security, and then behind that cover attack the Chinese
Rubbish. It means they will lose competition rights and customers
Rubbish BT is in bed with Huawei, never trust BT on any technology.
Anti Chinese throw back because of their actions in Hong Kong and we need to respect that. But where has most if are innards like computer chips made far East i bet
BBCPolitics That’s just because it takes BT years to get anything done!
The BT chairmanship is somewhat tainted and how would he know anyway. Have you ever met a BT engineer who said it would easy. Take the central core out leave the rest for now
Oh FFS!
Wanna bet? Just tell the public COVID is transferred through 5g and they’ll be destroyed by tea time 😂
night Why when looking at my devices on my BT hub do I have a Huawei device connected - we don’t own any in our house!! You must be held accountable bts_bighit BT BTelecoms 10DowningStreet What have you done to our security-we need clarity! GCHQ DefenceHQ
Great! Then you will pay extra cost to use America equipment and under monitor
BT destroyed British tech company Marconi when BT executives took kickbacks from Huawei
Great, now we’ll pay extra just to use american equipment
What even while the UK government now have a 45% stake in one web .
Interesting the focus on Huawei, yet no one is looking at the wider 48 Group Club and it’s economic activities with China over the last 55 years.
BT are lying
Why should UK remove a start of the art tech,,rather stay away from this Indian poison Pakistani living outside pl do not purchase Indian brands as cow urine added
We seems to have sold the UK infrastructure (Mainly to China) now they say we can't have it back or to expensive to buy back. Are they not building a power station? Oh dear; sell us our electricity and their electric cars?
BT senior management need to explain why they've locked themselves into a supplier for a decade with NO CONTINGENCY.
Ditch BT then
How and when? 'Huawei also provides about 70,000 of Openreach's roadside cabinets.'
Glad you people who get paid a fortune really did have a contingency plan
Attaboy! At least BT know when they're beat. jeremycorbyn gordoncorera TomTugendhat
Impossible means they don't want to as itll cost them money they'd rather leave the network with a doubtful piece of hardware
Before casting stones check who made your router. My Vodafone one certainly says Huawei on the back.
It's a good decision to get rid of Huawei. China spies on countries because of this.
