The watchdog has reportedly cited concerns over national security as the reason behind the ruling. NCC spokesperson Chen Jeng-chang indicated that the Executive Yuan (executive branch of the government) has requested that the regulator handle the matter in a ‘lawful and cautious manner’. Several notable Taiwanese telcos – including Asia Pacific Telecom (APT), Vibo, Taiwan Mobile and Far EasTone – are all believed to have purchased equipment from Huawei this year. |
