Thailand - Thailand casts wide net for 5G partners amid Huawei concerns

[snoop1130]

 

Ericsson, Finland's Nokia, and South Korea's Samsung as well as some Huawei devices, Huawei has made no comments about why the Thai government has not given a 5G network to it despite the reasonable costs. Economic analysts pointed out that Thailand cannot completely avoid Huawei from sharing 5G, noting that the government is taking a more balanced approach by allowing other telecom companies, especially European competitors, to participate in the 5G technology.

 

It is reported that Huawei has provided over the past years the latest wireless communication technologies for the medical sector in Thailand and cloud platforms for Thai universities, established a 5G ecosystem innovation center, and recently shipped 500,000 masks and medical equipment to the Thai government, to support the fight against the Coronavirus.

It doesn't take a genius to work out why a Chinese company would want to control Thai universities communications.

To compete with the vast amount of data trawled by facebook, google and twitter perhaps?

China is technically far ahead of the West in 5G.  However, the West led by kindly Uncle Sanctions has no doubt successfully applied pressure to Thailand to accept Western solutions. 
They'll be behind the technology curve, but they won't ****-off their temperamental Uncle Sanctions and incur his wrath.

You are missing a few big points those you list are not involved in education, they are also not bound by law to comply with the CCP.

Yes, this is mostly true though it does not mean what people usually think it means. 

 

What it means is that China chose to prioritize this before western countries have. Doesn't mean we can't beat them easily. 

 

US, Europe and Japan are now working on 6G already.
