5G Masts were set alight in Sparkhill, Birmingham, on Thursday 2nd April, and Melling, Merseyside, on Friday 3rd April.
The 70ft mobile phone tower in Birmingham was torched shortly after 8pm. Firefighters were called to the EE structure ‘well alight’ on Spring Road in Tyseley. Police also attended to block off the road while the flames were tackled for over an hour.
In Melling, Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service said it extinguished a 5G mast tower fire near the M57 motorway late in the evening on Friday.
Also, at the end of September 2019, the EE/BT tower in Porth, Wales, was destroyed by an arson attack

Yeah but still

Good timing. Sounds like we're trying to find alternatives to Huawei, which is hard given they're the dominant player in the market. This is one of those situations where we should be funneling billions in subsidies to develop a viable competitor.
Then he puts the same strong arm on the UK. Then NATO.
This is security 101. In a business, you wouldn't give your competitor network admin rights.
Along with his infrastructure stimulus, Mean Orange Man should make a significant investment in public/private partnership building the fuck out of US-manufactured 5G+ towers. The government interest strictly being financial assistance because those fucks already have enough tools at their disposal to watch us.
Amirite, @nsadawg?
Huawei has always been given the Chinese market which gets bigger every year and through government subsidies has been scooping up much of the developing world (throw in a network while China buys a port) and counties not aligned with the west (Middle East, some of SE Asia, etc).
However the majority of 5G launches have been without Huawei, North America is still the center of innovation, ATT and Vz were first out, Vz has been going big with mmWave, and 5G SA will show up first here.
It likely costs a little more to keep Huawei out because of the subsidies they pump into their business cases, but nobody in the west is behind.
Trump would love to have a blueblooded American winner, and I think he’s putting pressure on Cisco to get in or maybe Microsoft now that they’ve backed into telecom with the Affirmed purchase. Until then he’s stuck with the Swedes and Finns.
