Recommendation 3

3 Paragraph: 33

It is clear that the UK vendor market for 5G kit is not diverse enough.

Conclusion
It is clear that the UK vendor market for 5G kit is not diverse enough. Even with the inclusion of Huawei the market was “sub-optimal” and the Government’s decision to remove Huawei completely from 5G by 2027 poses a risk that could potentially result in an even less diverse market, which could bring security and resilience concerns of its own.
