The United Kingdom could delay the rollout of 5G networks in this country because of security concerns, a senior government minister has admitted.
The Culture Secretary Jeremy Wright added that he would not trade off the economic benefit of using cheap kit with security risk.
“There is certainly the possibility of a delay in the process of the roll out of 5G,” he was quoted by Reuters as saying, “If you want to do 5G fastest then you do that without any consideration for security.”
