German 5G update:
Deutsche Telekom creates facts on ground preempting parliament with heavy reliance on Huawei for #5G claiming it& #39;s upgrading existing infrastructure. Merkel& #39;s tactics make this possible much to chagrin of key coalition politicians. https://www.handelsblatt.com/politik/deutschland/huawei-technik-5g-offensive-von-vodafone-und-telekom-stoesst-in-der-politik-auf-widerstand/25770414.html?ticket=ST-152863-ecvaK5MpSvqUdpieegaw-ap2">https://www.handelsblatt.com/politik/d...

"We shouldn& #39;t be dependent on China for critical infrastructure -- not for masks & certainly not for #5G", @n_roettgen warns. @HeikoMaas says Huawei reliance "undermining Europe& #39;s sovereignty". "EU can only exit Corona crisis strongly... if we can rely on our own capabilities".
In March, SPD Bundestag group complained with Merkel& #39;s @HBraun about "extremely slow-moving 5G process". No answer. @falkomohrs says it& #39;s "dramatic situation. Tactical manoeuvring of Altmaier, Seehofer & Merkel cost us a lot of time". Bundestag still hasn& #39;t received draft laws.
Two draft laws pending: telecommunications law (TKG) & IT security law. According to @handelsblatt TKG draft will only have technical criteria (no non-technical trustworthiness criteria as demanded by SPD, parts of CDU & much of opposition).
If economics ministry indeed in May/June presents draft TKG with just technical criteria that would violate promise @peteraltmaier violate made in December to @MetinHakverdi & others

Bundestag">https://twitter.com/MetinHakv... should then take action to change draft §109 TKG.

According to @handelsblatt, trustworthiness check is part of draft IT security law according to "objectifable criteria". Unclear who takes decision. Critics fear Merkel tries to engineer in a way that she gets through with her Huawei open door policy. Crucial months ahead.
SPD MP @matschie : "If we don& #39;t achieve techological independence & highest security standards on #5G, Merkel enters great risks for Germany". https://www.handelsblatt.com/politik/deutschland/huawei-technik-5g-offensive-von-vodafone-und-telekom-stoesst-in-der-politik-auf-widerstand/25770414.html?ticket=ST-152863-ecvaK5MpSvqUdpieegaw-ap2">https://www.handelsblatt.com/politik/d...
In December, @deutschetelekom announced it would not enter into any agreements on # 5G & wait for political decision.
