expat1010 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 on the plus side Huawei equipment is usually dirt cheap and of high quality. The software can be an issue sometimes, but that can always be upgraded. If Huawei can't make it better themselves the Chinese government will steal a better version from a competitor. on the down side buying Huawei equipment basically means you are forever opening your kimono to the Chinese government so, up to the Thai government. My preference would be Ericsson and Samsung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't try to twist things, in your original post you wrote: "Huawei has been removed from the UK 5G project from 2027." In the official news it says: "The UK will remove Huawei from its 5G network By 2027," "From" 2027 and "by" 2027 are two very different things Bob A Kneale - not-paying-attention all the way...again!???? 1 hour ago, Bob A Kneale said: A contract to sell handsets is not a contract to build 5G networks and the latter is what the thread and my comment was about. Thaivisa-posters-not-paying-attention all the way. Please read my original post. I never said "contract to build 5G networks", I said: "AIS decision and contract with Huawei" Decision was referring to the 5G network and contract referring to the smart phone partnership.

geriatrickid Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 22 hours ago, MobileContent said: He is Singaporean and trust me Singtel (Government owned GLC) in Singapore dumped Huawei and on the end the deal goes to Samsung and Ericsson. As for the handsets of Singtel Huawei can get them. Its all about geo politics and Singapore government has always been on the side of the winners and China can't win it. Singtel also has shares in many other mobile operators including Airtel in India, Telkomsel in Indonesia and they both move towards the West. As for Thailand's CP Group that owns True Mobile will use Huawei for sure as otherwise their business in China will be dead. DTAC which is owned in part by Telenor will use Ericson and Nokia. Thailand has been long time close to the West but you can say they are part of the Chinese group since Prayuth came to power. The next two years will be interesting but countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Laos are already in the bed with China and Thailand got to be very careful on their next move. All very valid. However, you left off the impact of the US sanctions. It will be difficult for Thailand to manage the related technology sanctions. And the reality is that other western countries are backing the USA on this one, especially now that Hong Kong is being consumed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
