T-Mobile’s Legere: no Huawei tech going in 5G net, period
T-Mobile CEO John Legere told the House Judiciary Committee that his network does not now include technology from Huawei, and that it will never include technology from Huawei in the future. Legere added that he would even help others try to clear their networks of the technology. Carri Bennet, general counsel of the Rural Wireless Association, conceded that about a quarter of her members have Huawei tech in their networks primarily because they bought the equipment in 2010 and 2011— before the potential security threat of the company became clear—and because they were using government broadband subsidies and were looking for low-cost equipment.
