Re: Timetables matter
I think it is more about capitulating to the Postulating Primate and those behind his actions while trying to cushion British telecoms a little and providing potential wriggle room for the possibility of the sanctions against Huawei either easing or going away completely.
However, that is not going to happen, the US has always dominated the business previously and wil not stop until they think they have total control again, which probably will never happen, China has gone too far down the development road to stop now, Japan would love to have a resurgence, India and Pakistan are trying to develop their electronic industries etc.
