Huawei today warned Britain risks being left in the 'digital slow lane' and claimed mobile phone bills could rise after the UK Government announced the Chinese tech giant is being banned from the nation's 5G network.
Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said all of the firm's existing 5G technology will be stripped out by 2027 in a move which represents a major U-turn after the Government said in January that Huawei would be allowed to help build the infrastructure.
Huawei labelled the move 'disappointing' and said it was 'bad news for anyone in the UK with a mobile phone' as the company argued its future in Britain had become 'politicised'.
