According to Huawei, the "Riplace" applied by the United States to 5G is "an unrealistic attempt to repair what is not broken".Why replace something that works?, Says the Chinese telecommunications giant.
But the Federal Commission for Communications (FCC) is not of the same opinion, which unanimously approved a program of compensation of $ 1.895 billion for operators who have had to remove, replace and dispose of the "made in china" equipment ofHuawei and Zte, Vendor banned from the United States, present in their networks.
A year ago the FCC had defined Huawei and ZTE threats to national security, imposing on US companies to draw on a government fund of 8.3 billion dollars to buy equipment from the two Chinese producers.In December, however, he had adopted rules that require operators who use Huawei and ZTE equipment to proceed with the "Rip and Replace".
"Protecting the critical infrastructure of communications in America from potential security threats is more important than never because of the enormous impact that our communication networks have at work, education, health care and personal communications",reads the FCC note.The move represents "another step in the action in progress of the FCC to protect the communication networks from those who would like to damage the United States", continues the press release.
Translated: Fcc first reiterates that security cannot be sacrificed on the altar of economic convenience;Secondly, he recognizes the importance of putting help for operators on the plate.From the stick of Donald Trump - who put pressure on US companies so that they did not use Chinese equipment reaching the latter - the United States went to Joe Biden's carrot - with funds and training - as we noticed a short time ago on ants.net.
The "RIP and Replace" solution was also hypothesized for Italy by Copasir, which at the end of 2019 had suggested to the government (then it was Count II) to "consider very seriously" the possibility of excluding foreign operators involving a threatfor the safety of information.The Committee estimated the costs of such a procedure extended to all subjects regulated by the Golden Power in approximately 600 million euros and without significant delays.A value in line with the costs declared by other countries (Australia and the United States) who have decided to remove and replace high -risk suppliers, explained Cefriel experts.The same also highlighted how the value of possible violations related to the so -called high risk suppliers can exceed 8.55 billion per completion of the network.
