FRANKFURT (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.
