What a difference four years makes
Germany is determined to remove any systems from its telecoms networks that might pose a security threat, regardless of cost, in a remarkable reversal of the country's stance from just a few years ago., Germany's Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser chided the country's network operators for not moving faster to expunge kit from companies seen as potential security threats, including Huawei and ZTE.
Irrespective of the costs to operators such as Deutsche Telekom, any components that were found to exhibit security issues would need to be disconnected, she said."The network operators will have to act and dismantle the components." It's no coincidence that a new federal government, a coalition of the center-left Social Democrats, the neoliberal Free Democrats and the environmentalist Greens came into power in late 2021, replacing former chancellor Angela Merkel, who until then had headed up various coalition governments with a Wandel durch Handel approach.
