In 1BC (before coronavirus), when Donald Trump was tussling with the Chinese, KPN did a very unusual thing. As Trump's campaign put the heebie-jeebies up Europeans, prompting a few operators to back away from Chinese suppliers, the Dutch telco incumbent struck a 5G deal with Huawei. Its counterintuitive decision meant that Ericsson, the Swedish vendor now profiting in Europe at Huawei's expense, would have to be removed from KPN's existing radio access network.
It was an old-fashioned move that seemed driven by commercial reality rather than geopolitics. "The decision on our mobile modernization was via a very solid RFQ [request for quotation] process," says Babak Fouladi, KPN's chief technology officer. "We choose our partners based on technology and interoperability."
