Safe money

The UK is to spend $333 million to diversify its sources of 5G wireless equipment after banning China's Huawei from supplying the next-generation technology.

For those who came in late, the UK buckled to US pressure to cut Huawei from its 5G networking plans. Despite its spy masters testing Huawei gear and not finding anything remotely looking like spyware, the US government decided to listen to Donald Trump, who knows a lot about technology.

Now the UK not only has to pay for more expensive 5G gear, from a supply duopoly of Finland's Nokia and Sweden's Ericsson, it also has to pay to remove some existing Huawei gear.

At the moment those two do not have to do much to lower the price and the phone industry is banking that longer-term initiatives such as OpenRAN -- a project to make mobile network equipment more interoperable and encourage new suppliers -- will eventually introduce more competition.
