Introduction \u2013 July 17, 2020<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"\"<\/a>A little context is in order here. Although the following article breathes not a word about it there have been numerous reports<\/a> <\/span>about the health hazards posed by 5G technology.<\/h5>\n
Nor are these reports the musings of paranoid \u201cconspiracy theorists”. Warnings about the dangers posed by 5G have been sounded by doctors<\/span><\/a> and leading scientists<\/span><\/a> in the field of 5G itself.<\/h5>\n
So much so that Switzerland has suspended<\/span><\/a> the introduction of 5G technology due to these concerns.<\/h5>\n
That\u2019s why it\u2019s good news that Huawei has been banned. It means a delay in the widespread introduction of a potentially hazardous technology, which with a bit of luck, may never be fully rolled out. Ed.<\/h5>\n

5G mobile network delayed for up to 3 years as government bans Huawei<\/h2>\n

Hannah Rodger \u2013 The Herald Scotland July 14, 2020<\/h3>\n

MOBILE providers are to remove all Huawei 5G technology from their networks by 2027, Downing Street has confirmed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Companies<\/strong><\/span><\/a> will also be banned from buying the Chinese firm’s 5G technology from the end of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

It comes after sanctions were imposed by the USA, claiming the company poses a threat to national security.<\/span><\/p>\n

Digital Secretary Oliver Dowden told MPs of the decision this afternoon in the House of Commons.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Dowden said that the roll-out of 5G was now\u00a0going to be further delayed for a year, on top of delays\u00a0of up to two years already announced, and will\u00a0add half a billion pounds to the cost of the network.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said: “From the end of the year, telecoms operators must not buy any 5G equipment from Huawei. And once the Telecom Security Bill is passed, it will be illegal for them to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Today’s decision to ban the procurement of new Huawei 5g equipment from the end of this year will delay rollout by a further year, and will add up to half a billion pounds to costs. Requiring operators, in addition, to remove Huawei equipment from their 5G\u00a0networks by 2027 will add hundreds of millions of pounds of cost and a further delayed\u00a0rolled out.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This means a cumulative delay 5G\u00a0rollout of two to three years and costs of up to \u00a32bn pounds. This will have real consequences for the connections on which all our constituents rely.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He said the UK had\u00a0to embrace full-fibre broadband\u00a0and 5G technology, but added: ”\u00a0It is only by doing this that we will remain at the forefront of the technology revolution.<\/span><\/p>\n

“In order to realize the full benefits of those technologies, though, we have to have confidence in the security and resilience of the infrastructure on which they are built.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Keeping the country secure is the primary duty of the government to its people. This consideration precedes all others.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Dowden said the government “have been clear right from the start that Chinese owned vendors of Huawei\u00a0was deemed to be high risk, and we made clear that the National Cybersecurity centre would review and update its advice as necessary. Clearly since January,\u00a0the situation has changed.<\/span><\/p>\n
