You can read all of the context for why this is happening <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2019\/03\/new-gov-report-finds-rising-uk-telecoms-security-risk-from-huawei.html\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2019\/05\/uk-broadband-isp-networks-facing-huge-risk-from-huawei-fallout.html\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile the JCNSS committed is seeking written evidence on a number of areas (see below), which must be submitted by 13th September 2019.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Scope of the JCNSS Inquiry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>* The challenges for the UK telecoms industry in a global market;<\/p>\n<p>* The opportunities and risks involved in purchasing equipment and services for the UK telecoms sector from foreign suppliers;<\/p>\n<p>* The effectiveness of the Government\u2019s past and current support to the UK telecoms industry and innovation within the sector;<\/p>\n<p>* Areas of strength and innovation in the UK telecoms industry;<\/p>\n<p>* The scope and implementation of key documents including, but not limited to, the 2015 National Security Strategy and the 2017 Industrial Strategy;<\/p>\n<p>* The potential role of regulation and legislation including, but not limited to, the 2018 White Paper on National Security and Investment;<\/p>\n<p>* The roles and responsibilities of the National Security Council and relevant Government departments and agencies;<\/p>\n<p>* The extent to which policy-making in this area draws on cross-government science, technology and cyber security expertise;<\/p>\n<p>* How the UK\u2019s approach compares with that of allies and partners such as France, Germany, the US, Canada and Australia;<\/p>\n<p>* The potential for international cooperation with like-minded countries and multinational organisations in sustaining key industrial sectors, such as telecoms.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The biggest difficulty for this sort of inquiry is that the most sensitive national security details aren&#8217;t ever likely to be exposed in public. Such issues are a matter for the national security and intelligence agencies (secret), which is virtually impossible for ordinary folk to judge. We wouldn&#8217;t be so bold as to assume we know better than they do.<\/p>\n<p>On the flip side telecoms operators have long made use of Huawei&#8217;s equipment within their networks, not least because it tends to represent a good mix of quality and affordability. Admittedly the firm has had a fair few public security scares of late too (poorly patched vulnerabilities in firmware etc.), but then so too have other big firms like Cisco.<\/p>\n<p>For mobile operators the biggest problem with a total ban from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a> networks would be that you can&#8217;t do <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> without <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a> (dual-purpose hardware etc.), thus they&#8217;d face the massive cost of needing to re-do their networks and the likely delays that would cause for the 5G rollout.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand it&#8217;s not like we haven&#8217;t seen plenty of warning signals from security committees over the past few years (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2013\/06\/uk-intelligence-committee-raises-security-concerns-over-bts-chinese-kit.html\">these are not new concerns<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy (JCNSS) has launched a new inquiry into UK 5G and fixed broadband telecommunications infrastructure, which in the wake of all the alleged risks from Huawei&#8217;s kit will examine the issues of sustaining access to &#8220;safe&#8221; telecoms technology as a national security issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[406,60,479],"class_list":["post-19029","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-5g","tag-mobile-broadband","tag-security"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
