UK GOV has admitted that the rollout of 5G services in Blighty could be delayed if it places restrictions on controversial Chinese firm Huawei.
Last month, a leaked report – which has since resulted in the sacking of defence secretary Gavin Williamson – revealed that prime minister Theresa May had decided to allow Huawei to provide equipment for “non-core” 5G infrastructure in the UK.
While this news went down well with, er, Huawei, who said it was “pleased that the UK is continuing to take an evidence-based approach to its work”, it has faced widespread resistance among ministers who favoured a total ban on the Chinese company’s equipment.
These security concerns could halt the supposedly-imminent arrival of 5G services in Blighty, culture secretary said on Wednesday.
