Clearwire to pull Huawei from network

US mobile carrier Clearwire is getting ready to draw-down the Huawei kit in its network, in an apparent response to the never-ending story that the vendor is a threat to US national security.

While not a body blow to the Chinese vendor, since it's won less than five per cent of Clearwire's LTE build, it will drop yet more fuel onto the FUD-fire that continues to surround the vendor.

“We are materially reducing their footprint in our LTE network,” the company's CTO John Saw has told FierceWireless. In essence, FierceWireless reports, Clearwire has attracted the government's paranoia because Sprint Nextel (majority owner of Clearwire, and with a bid in for the shares it doesn't already hold) is itself subject to an offer by SoftBank from Japan.
