The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.British cybersecurity inspectors said Thursday they found significant technical issues in Chinese telecom supplier Huawei's software that pose risks for the country's mobile networks.
The U.S. government wants its European allies to ban the company from next-generation mobile networks set to roll out in coming years over fears Huawei gear could be used for cyberespionage. However, Britain has so far resisted, saying it can manage the risks without resorting to a boycott. Since 2010, Huawei equipment used by British mobile phone companies has been inspected by the evaluation center, which is funded by the Chinese company and overseen by a board headed by a British official.
