FRANKFURT (Reuters) -The German government and mobile phone carriers have agreed in principle on steps to phase components by Chinese technology companies out of the nation's 5G wireless network over the next five years, a group of German media outlets reported on Wednesday.
Newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung as well as broadcasters NDR and WDR said in a joint report that the agreement gives network operators Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone and Telefonica Deutschland more time to replace critical parts, without specifying its sources.
