Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is staying mum on whether his government might join other allies in banning or restricting Chinese telecom giant Huawei Technologies from supplying gear for next-generation 5G wireless networks.
Leuprecht said Canada’s lengthy delay in a decision on whether to exclude Huawei appears to be an effort to discourage wireless firms from using the gear. “My guess is they were hoping ‘by creating uncertainty for the telecom firms, let’s hope they ultimately don’t use Huawei equipment,' ” he said.
But that has failed, Prof. Leuprecht noted, because both Bell and Telus have announced they intend to incorporate Huawei gear in their 5G networks.
