Canada: telcos want the money for the dismantling of Huawei equipment, but the power of soprotivlyayutsya Blinkova | 14.09.2020
Canadian telecommunications companies will require a 1 billion canadian dollars (approximately $0.75 billion) from the authorities in case you will be imposed a ban on the use of Huawei equipment. Dismantling and
replacement of equipment the Chinese company will require, according to the calculations of canadian telecommunication, a lot of money and time.
While currently in Canada in the middle of another conflict: the authorities put pressure on companies to reduce tariffs for mobile communications, they are too high. If companies will have to dismantle
Huawei equipment at their own expense, and to build a 5G network on the basis of technical solutions from other manufacturers, the price of bond in Canada and even fly in the heavens.
The canadian government argues that compensation that is made in the interests of national security; in addition, it is assumed that the taxpayers “will not understand” the transfer of 1 billion
canadian dollars to private companies, which do not seem too poor. “And we got interrupted by a coronavirus, no money, and if there is, but we need to stimulate economic growth”,
– according to the canadian authorities.
To date, Ottawa has already two years can not be determined, carries Huawei a threat to national security or not, and whether to allow the company to build 5G networks.
While canadian 4G network is built on Huawei equipment, and to build a 5G based on equipment from Ericsson and Nokia, difficult, installed Huawei products will, most likely,
disassemble. Currently, the canadian telecommunications company to operate in no hurry, keeping his nose to the wind.
Analytical company Scotiabank has estimated that removal and replacement of Huawei equipment only in the company Bell will manage in the sum from 300 million to 350 million canadian dollars. By the time the process will take
3-5 years.
In the US the situation is the same, except for the fact that Donald trump back in March of this year signed a document under which the telecommunications company will receive $1 billion to replace
