Deutsche Telekom reviews vendors in light of China security debate REUTERS 1:14 AM ET 12/14/2018

 

FRANKFURT, Dec 14 (Reuters) - Deutsche Telekom, Europe's largest telecoms company, said late on Thursday it was reviewing its network vendor strategy in light of a debate on the security of Chinese network equipment that it was taking "very seriously".

The reassessment by Telekom, in which the German state owns a stake of nearly a third, comes after some U.S. allies acted to exclude Chinese equipment makers led by Huawei on national security grounds.
