Soundbite: R&D at Huawei

"My candid view of the R&D at Huawei? I think that you have two choices: either you decide that they will be fast followers due to their engineering and development or that with their many thousands of young and bright staff they will begin to innovate.

Not only do they follow thoroughly-through with an answer but there is a ‘Why did you ask that, BT? Why are they [BT] thinking that? What is the origin, why is this important?’ They find a response to the question in earnest and why you asked this in essence.

I - and BT - believe Huawei will begin to innovate and drive in market-leading areas."

Matt Bross, BT Group's Chief Technology Officer, speaking to Total Telecom
