DICT: Huawei issue to have little impacthome/Business/Top Business/DICT: Huawei issue to have little impactTHE Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) on Thursday shrugged off worries about rising tensions between the United States and China-based Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., saying they only had minimal impact on the local telecommunications sector. For its part, the US Commerce Department also announced an effective ban on US companies selling or transferring US technology to Huawei, though it later issued a 90-day reprieve. Earlier this week, US internet giant Google said it would partially cut off Huawei devices from its Android operating system (OS). Huawei has since indicated that it could roll out its own OS this year in China and internationally next year. We continue to support them,” he said at a panel discussion at the Bloomberg Industry 4.0 in Taguig City.
