U.K. Gives Huawei Partial Role in Developing 5G Network

The UK government has decided to exclude high-risk vendors, specifically Huawei and ZTE, from the core parts of its 5G network, while allowing limited access to non-sensitive parts. This decision balances security concerns from the US and the need for competitive pricing in the telecom market. The exclusion of Huawei could lead to increased costs and delays in 5G rollout, as only Nokia and Ericsson remain as major players. The decision allows Huawei's technology in less sensitive areas like antennas, reducing vulnerability to attacks.

How does the decision affect the telecom operators in the UK?

What are the potential consequences of having only Nokia and Ericsson as the remaining players in the market?
