The Swedish telecom regulator said Tuesday that four wireless carriers bidding for frequencies in an upcoming spectrum auction for the new 5G networks must not use equipment from Huawei or ZTE. Wireless carriers that plan to use existing telecommunications infrastructure for 5G networks must also rip out any existing gear from Huawei or ZTE Wireless, the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority said The agency said the conditions were based on assessments by the Swedish military and security service. The ban means more opportunities for Huawei's main rivals, Swedish company Ericsson and Finland's Nokia
Klas Friberg, the head of Sweden's domestic security service, known as SAPO, said Tuesday that foreign powers have intensified their intelligence activity in recent years so 5G networks should be built in a secure way from the start. "China is one of the biggest threats to Sweden. The Chinese state is conducting cyber espionage to promote its own economic development and develop its military capabilities. This is done through extensive intelligence gathering and theft of technology, research and development. This is what we must consider when building the 5G network of the future." Friberg said.
Sweden is the latest country to prohibit Huawei from playing a role in building 5G networks and its decision is likely to add to tensions between the Chinese government and Western powers. U.S. officials have waged an intense lobbying campaign in Europe to persuade allies to shun the company, saying Huawei could be compelled by China's communist rulers to facilitate cyberespionage. The company has consistently denied the accusations.
Huawei said it was "surprised and disappointed" by the rules and denied it was a security risk. "Huawei has never caused even the slightest shred of threat to Swedish cyber security and never will," it said. "Excluding Huawei will not make Swedish 5G networks any more secure. Rather, competition and innovation will be severely hindered.

"ΕΕ: Απαιτεί από τον ΠΟΥ περισσότερη κυβερνητική διαφάνεια σχετικά με τις κρίσεις υγείας"
ReplyDelete"Η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση απαιτεί περισσότερη διαφάνεια από τον Παγκόσμιο Οργανισμό Υγείας σχετικά με τον τρόπο με τον οποίο οι χώρες αναφέρουν τις αναδυόμενες κρίσεις υγείας, σύμφωνα με προσχέδιο πρότασης για τη μεταρρύθμιση του οργανισμού, μετά από τις επικρίσεις για τον αρχικό ΧΕΙΡΙΣΜΟ της πανδημίας του κορωνοϊού από την KINA.
Οι προετοιμασίες για την αναθεώρηση της αντιμετώπισης της πανδημίας του κορωνοϊού από τον ΠΟΥ και τις κυβερνήσεις βρίσκονται σε εξέλιξη για μήνες και Η ΓΕΡΜΑΝΙΑ ΕΧΕΙ ΕΠΑΝΕΙΛΗΜΜΕΝΑ ΠΑΡΟΤΡΥΝΕΙ ΤΑ ΚΡΑΤΗ ΜΕΛΗ ΤΗΣ ΕΕ ΝΑ ΕΠΙΤΑΧΥΝΟΥΝ ΤΗ ΔΙΑΔΙΚΑΣΙΑ ΑΥΤΗ, ΩΣΤΕ Η ΜΕΤΑΡΡΥΘΜΙΣΗ ΤΟΥ ΣΩΜΑΤΟΣ ΝΑ ΜΠΟΡΕΙ ΝΑ ΣΥΖΗΤΗΘΕΙ ΣΟΒΑΡΑ.
Οι υπουργοί Υγείας της Ε.Ε. έχουν ήδη συμφωνήσει σε γενικές γραμμές για μια κοινή θέση σχετικά με τις ΜΕΤΑΡΡΥΘΜΙΣΕΙΣ στις οποίες ο ΠΟΥ θα πρέπει να υποβληθεί, σε τηλεδιάσκεψη που πραγματοποίησαν στις αρχές Οκτωβρίου."
