BT scrambles to rip out Huawei tech ahead of New Year’s Eve deadline

The Telegraph  

BT is scrambling to rip Huawei equipment out of its network before the end of the year to avoid hefty fines. The telecoms giant still has not removed all kit made by the controversial Chinese company from its “core” network, with just 11 days left before a government-imposed deadline of December 31. BT, which relied heavily on Huawei equipment to build its full-fibre and 5G networks, has said it will cost £500m to rip out the kit and replace it with technology made by Swedish rival Ericsson. The Government banned Huawei from critical telecoms networks in 2020 amid concerns about the company’s Chinese ownership.
