Vodafone warns of 5G trouble if Huawei banned

Vodafone said any move by Britain to bar equipment made by China’s Huawei from all parts of new 5G networks would cost it hundreds of millions and “very significantly” slow down the deployment of the new technology.

The US has asked allies not to use Huawei’s technology because it could be a vehicle for Chinese spy operations, an accusation denied by the company.
