British Telecom (BT) had already expressed its opinion regarding the United Kingdom government's plans to erase the Chinese company Huawei off the grid entirely. It turns out that it will not be easy as planned. The agency said that 10 years won't be enough for the government to remove the Chinese company. Here's why.
Huawei ban may result to 'outages'
One of the main questions that most people ask is whether huge can be the effect, once Huawei is fully removed from the U.K.
Jansen believes that the effects may be paramount for the British people. There will be outages or, worse, possible security risks for their British customers on the line.
"But we need to make sure that any change of direction doesn't lead to more risk in the short term - I think that's where the detail really matters. If we get in a situation where things need to go very fast, then we go into a situation where service for 24 million B.T. Group mobile customers is put into question - outages would be possible," added him.
"Secondly, the security and safety in the short-term could be put at risk - this is really critical here. If you are not able to buy or transact with Huawei that would mean you wouldn't be able to get software upgrades if you take it to its specificity."
The U.K. government is widely expected to announce a policy shift tomorrow.
