US Govt. extends Huawei license
    2020-03-12  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

THE Trump administration said Tuesday it was extending a license allowing U.S. companies to continue doing business with Huawei Technologies Co. until May 15.

The U.S. Commerce Department has issued a series of extensions of the temporary license and had previously extended it until April 1. Huawei, the second largest maker of smartphones, is also a major telecom equipment that provides 5G network technology.

After adding Huawei to an economic blacklist in May citing national security concerns, the U.S. Commerce Department has allowed it to purchase some American-made goods in a move aimed at minimizing disruption for its customers, many of which operate wireless networks in rural America.

Separately, the U.S. Commerce Department sought public comments on whether it should issue future extensions and asked what was the “impact on your company or organization if the temporary general license is not extended?” The Commerce Department also asked about the costs associated with ending the licenses.

The department has said the licenses allow rural carriers to continue to service customers in some of the most remote areas of the United States.

U.S. President Donald Trump also signed an executive order in May barring U.S. companies from using telecom equipment made by companies deemed to pose a national security risk.

The Trump administration has been urging foreign governments to bar Huawei from building 5G networks.

In November, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission followed up by voting unanimously to designate Huawei and ZTE Corp. as national security risks, effectively barring their rural customers in the United States from tapping an US$8.5 billion government fund to purchase equipment.

Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday saw off a revolt by some of his party’s MPs over allowing a role to Huawei in the country’s future 5G networks.

Rebel Conservative Party members pushed for a vote for an amendment to the Telecommunications Infrastructure Bill, calling for an end to Huawei’s participation in Britain’s 5G network by the start of 2023.

However, the parliament rejected the amendment, with the government defeating it by 306 votes to 282.(SD-Agencies)
