Speaking on the earnings call last week, CEO Nick Read stated the following:
"Specifically on Huawei, what I was really trying to make clear is, I think we need to move to more a fact-based conversation, I think at the moment is a simplistic political level and there is a big distinction between radio and core.

They are not significant in the scale of our operations in the core and therefore it's not a big financial implication."
