  The UK wants to introduce further laws to ensure our telecoms sector does exactly what it’s ordered to do by US sanctions against Huawei.
  Specifically the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has announced a consultation on ‘its proposed legal instruments to mandate the removal of all Huawei equipment from 5G networks by end of 2027.’ On one level this just seems to be the legal rubber-stamping of the measures introduced in response to US pressure back in 202
