Yesterday’s news that BT is cutting Huawei gear out of its network core is now, well, yesterday’s news. The new story is that over the weekend, Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou was arrested up in Vancouver, Canada.
The situation apparently relates to US investigations of Huawei’s activities in Iran in violation of the sanctions against that country. As with ZTE, Huawei gear containing technology from the US wound up there despite strict export licenses.
