Recently, the Financial Times published a study on 5G construction in the UK. The article points out that although the UK was one of the first countries in the world to start 5G commercialization, contrary to their early entry, the UK's 5G service capacity is now at the bottom of the world. The reason for this is very simple: it is the UK itself that has banned China from building Huawei 5G equipment in the UK, and at the same time does not allow Huawei to provide 5G services in the UK.
According to the survey data, the United Kingdom and Japan are currently the two slowest Internet speeds among the G7 countries, but this slowest is relatively speaking, even if Japan is the second-to-last Internet speed, it is far ahead, but it is still the average level of developed countries, at the world's leading level. But Britain is different, people directly fall through the center of the earth. It has become a shame for developed countries.
Judging from the data of the second half of last year alone, the average 5G network speed of British mobile communication users was 118 per second2MB, 136 in 20225MB is also 13 percentage points lower. I don't know if the UK will continue to fall this year.
In 2022, 136With a ** internet speed of 5MB, it can be regarded as tied for third place in Europe and equal to Germany. But last year, Germany and Italy have left Britain far behind.
In addition, a 13% drop is only average. In some economically backward areas, such as Northern Ireland, the UK's internet speed has declined even faster, directly down 28% from 2022, and even. In central areas like the East Midlands, internet speeds can only reach 353mb。
What does this prove?It can only prove one thing, Britain really took the Huawei ban demanded by the Americans to heart and implemented it. It has truly achieved an all-round ban on access to Chinese telecom equipment and Huawei's 5G technology. After all, the slow development speed of 5G in the UK has become such a ghost, which is already very revealing.
Currently, 73% of the population of EU countries has been covered by Huawei's 5G.
Cyprus, like the United Kingdom, is the first country to use Huawei's 5G, with a 5G network coverage rate of 100%, the fastest network in Europe, and the best network quality in Europe.
Then Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway and other countries, although they agreed to the Americans' request to suspend the use of Huawei's 5G, but they very chicken thieves proposed a so-called 5G ban schedule. Let's take the Germans as an example. In 2021, Germany passed the IT security law, first of all, they agreed in principle to stop using 5G, but considering that there is no alternative, they will continue to use 5G for the time being.
This will be followed by the end of Huawei's 5G expansion in 2022 and will gradually dismantle Huawei's 5G equipment from 2025.
What about the actual implementation level?
The actual implementation level is that in September 2023, the German Federal ** announced that it would dismantle China's 5G equipment cost, so it suspended the IT security law and continued to expand Huawei's 5G equipment.
In other words, in 2021, the Germans shouted that they agreed with the United States' ban on Huawei's 5G, which is to deceive fools. I'll promise you on the surface first, and then I'll not install Huawei 5G to avoid the limelight. Then when you have forgotten about 5G in the United States, you will reinstall 5G in reverse.
Just kidding, how can 5G be such a good thing, how can it be banned.
Another country is France and Spain, which have no interest in the conflict between China and the United States, so they have not bothered about the 5G ban from the beginning. The construction of 5G has never stopped. For these countries, I can only say that the absence of American troops at home is hard.
Finally, there are the countries of England, Sweden, Belgium, and Romania, and these countries are pure and pure grievances. At that time, the United States said that as long as they stopped using China's 5G, soon the United States would develop its own 5G to help them tide over the national crisis. As a result, less than 30% of these countries have 5G coverage, which is even lower than the world average.
Oh yes, I just remembered, and there's an American to say. As the country that took the lead in imposing sanctions on China's 5G, the Americans must have banned China's 5G, right?
They were exactly like that in the beginning. However, due to frequent setbacks in the development and construction of 5G in the United States in recent years, the current Internet improvement speed in the United States is far lower than the world average. The $1.9 billion subsidy given by the United States to operators in the United States is simply not enough, and according to the current figures given by the Alliance of American Operators, at least $5.6 billion is needed to realize the construction of 5G in major cities in the United States. Without new equipment, 5G networks cannot be established, and industrial benefits cannot be realized without 5G networks.
They also want to be like Germany, and rebuild 5G with a word, but they are the leading big brother, even if they can't bear it, they have to hold on.
It can only be said that Britain has suffered from the plague and chose such an unlucky thing to be the boss for himself.
