Popular Post snoop1130 Posted July 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2020 UK to purge Huawei from 5G by 2027, angering China and pleasing Trump By Paul Sandle, Guy Faulconbridge Huawei headquarters building is pictured in Reading, Britain July 14, 2020. REUTERS/Matthew Childs LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Boris Johnson ordered Huawei equipment to be purged completely from Britain’s 5G network by 2027, risking the ire of China by signalling that the world’s biggest telecoms equipment maker is no longer welcome in the West. The seven-year lag will please telecoms operators such as BT, Vodafone and Three which feared they would be forced to spend billions of pounds to rip out Huawei equipment much faster. But it will delay the roll out of 5G. The United States has pushed Johnson to reverse his January decision to grant Huawei a limited role in 5G, while London has been dismayed by a crackdown in Hong Kong and the perception China did not tell the whole truth over the coronavirus. Britain’s National Security Council (NSC), chaired by Johnson, decided on Tuesday to ban the purchase 5G components from the end of this year and to order the removal of all existing Huawei gear from the 5G network by 2027. The cyber arm of Britain’s GCHQ eavesdropping agency, the National Cyber Security Centre, told ministers it could no longer guarantee the stable supply of Huawei gear after the United States imposed new sanctions on chip technology. Telecoms companies will also be told to stop using Huawei in fixed-line fibre broadband within the next two years. Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Secretary Oliver Dowden announced the decision in parliament. -- © Copyright Reuters 2020-07-14 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahead of this there will be a total ban on the purchase of any new 5G kit after 31 December 2020. The decision was taken today in a meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) chaired by the Prime Minister, in response to new US sanctions.

Popular Post englishoak Posted July 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2020 Inevitable decision re security once Brexit was assured last month. Massive spending on infrastructure, transport and building in the UK is coming and will be required in the wake of the global plandemic and job losses. This will delay 5G rollout by 4 years or so which is good news, time to iron out more issues, invest, build and integrate the infrastructure required to run properly and more securely moving forwards in tandem with the 5 eyes security program. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little financial benefit to the struggling here and budget arrival offerings v the rest. Well done Thailand 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chomper Higgot Posted July 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2020 It’s a curious thing to do, make an announcement about doing something in the next seven years when the announcement itself will be sure to anger a nation the UK desperately needs to do a trade deal with. Doubly so given the UK could quietly purge its telecom systems of this manufacturer’s equipment without making any announcement at all.

Boris has to made the announcement loud and clear to appease Trump who threaten him with cutting of security and intelligence ties. Just made worse for UK who is desperate for more trading partners especially China who has recovered from Covid and the economy picking up as seen by their positive trade numbers and stock markets. Meanwhile U.K. will have to bargain for more accessibilities to US markets and an economy still mired in the midst of surging pandemic. Cutting Huawei will set back 5G in U.K. for couple of years and will cost more for the telecom companies and consumers. Maybe the 7 years disengagement plan is to allow a possibility for a revise policy after Trump leave office in January. Don’t see much upside for U.K. to cut its nose to spite the face. 2 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post grumpy 4680 Posted July 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2020 Banning Huawei is the first step in the right direction, for 30+ years the West have assisted China in its financial rise to power, and what was not given, they stole. China has proved it can't be trusted as a major power, with all its events in recent years, So the time has come stem the tide, The US can't be blamed for what China has done to the world, but it could help undo what China has become, and yes it will come at a price, The UK has come to the same conclusions, and regardless of Chinese and EU deals, life will go on, as other world markets are ready to grow, it may take time, but its a better option than letting a communist dictatorship take over. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. It's because the big players such as British Telecom, O2 and Vodafone have warned that there may be outages in the existing system if they have to rip out all the Huawei gear and replace it with Nokia, or even ECI or MikroTik.

Huawei may not be the proprietary designer but it holds the most 5G related patents and therefore holds the trump card. The patents will handicapped most telecommunication companies either in terms of royalties or delays in discriminatory terms. Even if companies will to go pass the patents and design themselves, it will mean a very long process to reach Huawei standard.

However for people to pretend that every thing they do is derivative is absurd. They learnt well in the tech field and are now being highly innovative themselves. I don't completely agree with that analysis but not a bad stab at the reality. I have said before that after thirty years of dealing with the Chinese in China I have seen them grow from amazing copyists to innovative and creative performers on many levels. It is no surprise the world uses China for the majority of it's manufacturing needs. The product quality is now second to none. It is true that China has no moral compass when it comes to copy rights but they are not alone in that. As for Britain's decision to do another U-turn, this time over Huawei, well it is just more embarrassment for the dysfunctional idiots in power. Nothing really has changed and all the warnings were raised at the time and then poo-pooed by Johnson. To cancel it now put's Britain on the backfoot over the development of 5G. As most IT people know, 5G is the upcoming tool for businesses and will be essential in the future. The actually telephone side is fairly irrelevant but being two or three years behind in the development for business use is very damaging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world wouldn't be a better place when scientific progress is stymied because of ones man inflated ego. Huawei is a large, long time telecom company. I had to compete against them 20 years ago. However their patent lead is predominately in core patents, not across the whole spectrum of 5G technologies, and comes to about 19% of the market, which makes my point that 5G, as well as most modern high technology is highly globalized. As for being helpful (Cough! sorry, a spot of covid) Huawei's, and more directly the CCP's approach to the well being of the world's scientific progress is most destructive. Just last week Chris Wray of the FBI stated China's theft of intellectual property alone is the greatest transfer of wealth in human history. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of China and Chinese, just not the CCP. Edited July 15, 2020 by rabas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
