“Today’s decision, however, is about ensuring the long-term security of our telecoms network, specifically in the light of those new US sanctions,” said Dowden. “The security and resilience of our telecoms networks is of paramount importance. We have never and will never compromise that security in pursuit of economic prosperity. It is a fact that the US has introduced additional sanctions on Huawei, and as facts have changed. So has our approach.”After a long period of wrangling, rumours and high-stakes political lobbying, and much to the relief of the country’s telco community, the UK government decided in January 2020 not to follow the US and Australia in totally banning leading Chinese tech firms from supplying equipment for the UK’s growing 5G infrastructure. This move attracted the ire of backbench Conservative MPs who tried but failed to derail the January decision in March 2020, and since then the UK government has come under considerable pressure from the US government for a complete ban.He noted that the January 2020 decision to restrict Huawei technology to just the radio access network of the 5G infrastructure had already set back roll-out by a year and cost up to £1bn. Dowden said that the new decision to ban the procurement of new Huawei 5G equipment from the end of this year would delay 5G roll-out by a further year and add up to half a billion pounds to costs. Requiring operators in addition to removing Huawei equipment from their 5G networks by 2027 would add hundreds of millions of pounds further to the cost and further delay roll-out.“Second, bringing new scale suppliers, into the UK market by removing barriers to entry, providing commercial incentives and creating large scale opportunities for new suppliers to enter the UK market. And third, addressing the existing structure of the supply market by investing in research and development and building partnerships between operators and suppliers that will mean operators using multiple suppliers in a single network will become the standard across the industry.”“We remain confident that the new US restrictions would not have affected the resilience or security of the products we supply to the UK,” he said. “Regrettably, our future in the UK has become politicised; this is about US trade policy and not security. Over the past 20 years, Huawei has focused on building a better-connected UK. As a responsible business, we will continue to support our customers as we have always done. We will conduct a detailed review of what today’s announcement means for our business here and will work with the UK government to explain how we can continue to contribute to a better connected Britain.” -- ???????? | |||
