UK Government "Ban on New Installation of Huawei Equipment from September"
[Asia Economy Reporter Sung Kiho] The UK government has decided to ban the installation of new Huawei equipment starting from September next year.
According to foreign media on the 30th (local time), Oliver Dowden, the UK Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, announced this plan in a statement on the same day.
Earlier, the UK government decided at the National Security Council (NSC) in July to stop purchasing Huawei equipment related to 5G after the end of this year and to remove existing installed equipment by 2027.
Following the decision to phase out Huawei equipment, the UK government recently introduced the 'Telecommunications (Security) Act,' which grants the government the authority to ban high-risk suppliers from the national communication network by law.

Currently, telecommunications operators have their own network security standards, but going forward, they will be legally obligated to manage risks caused by high-risk suppliers according to government guidelines. Violations may result in fines of 10% of revenue or ?100,000 (approximately 150 million KRW) per day.
