GSMA (finally!) takes a stand on Huawei security debate
- Tuesday | 19th February, 2019
ITEM: The GSMA has finally – sort of – weighed in on the Huawei 5G controversy with a carefully worded statement that advocates greater vendor competition and greater industry-government cooperation to address security concerns. The GSMA statement doesn’t address this, although admittedly I have no idea what the GSMA – or anyone else – could do or say to assure the current US government that its fears are unfounded or overblown. In any case, the statement – released last Thursday – is the closest the GSMA has come to directly addressing the issue. Of course, while industry-government cooperation in vetting 5G security is a good idea, the question is whether such an initiative could mitigate the general paranoia that is driving the US-led anti-Huawei campaign in the first place. For some security agencies, the concern with 5G is that its architecture blurs the distinction between the edge and the core.
