TOKYO/GUANGZHOU/FRANKFURT -- As governments worldwide slam their doors on Huawei Technologies, the Chinese telecommunications supplier suspected of being a security risk, mobile carriers are left with little choice but to shell out more money for 5G equipment.
Deutsche Telekom, a major multinational telecom based in Germany, is one of the latest players to re-evaluate its strategy in light of Huawei's troubles. "Deutsche Telekom takes the global debate on the security of network equipment from Chinese providers very seriously," the company said in a statement last Wednesday, describing steps it will take to ensure confidence in its network.
