Vodafone is one of the largest telecommunications groups in Europe at the moment, with businesses in many countries, including Romania, and the decisions taken in one of them are gradually applied in the others. Today we are talking about a decision that few people expected, one that comes directly from Great Britain, where British Telecom and Vodafone want to ask the government not to ban Huawei's 5G equipment for the networks that will be launched in the country.
Vodafone took this decision after just a few months ago it suspended the procedures for choosing suppliers of 5G equipment due to all the accusations brought against the Chinese company. Vodafone seems to have reached the conclusion that there are no problems with the equipment produced by Huawei, so that together with British Telecom they could convince the British government not to marginalize the Chinese company in 2020.
Vodafone: The UNEXPECTED decision from Europe that SURPRISED the WHOLE WORLD
Vodafone has this very important decision announced not long before the UK government announces its official position vis-à-vis the suppliers of 5G equipment for the networks that will be launched in the country. It is said that Prime Minister Boris Johnson does not really want to ban Huawei for 5G networks, although he seemed to imply this after the last meeting with Donald Trump, he being supported by the country's intelligence services.
"The UK's BT and Vodafone are considering asking Prime Minister Boris Johnson not to risk the launch of next-generation mobile networks by banning China's Huawei. The UK is due to make a final decision on Huawei's role in building new 5G networks this month."
Vodafone it will certainly adopt the same position in all the countries where it is present at the moment, and this helps the Huawei company a lot to keep extremely important markets for its future development. Great Britain is one of the markets where Huawei sells to Vodafone, and not only that, a lot of products, not just telecommunications equipment, and a ban would have affected its image extremely much, but it seems that this will not happen.
Vodafone will launch 5G networks in many European countries in the coming months, so it is expected to lobby in other countries so that Huawei's 5G equipment is not banned.
