Vodafone on Wednesday launched its 5G service in the UK, but without smartphones from controversial Chinese technology giant Huawei.
By sidelining Huawei phones, Vodafone has mirrored action by EE, the first UK provider to roll out the technology that offers almost instantaneous data transfer with its own launch at the end of May.
"5G will transform the way we live and work," Vodafone UK Chief Executive Officer Nick Jeffery said Wednesday.
"Our customers are streaming over 50 percent more content today than they did last year, and with 5G the demand for data is only set to increase."
