Australia’s former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull has said he is “pleased” that the United States will be giving “urgent priority” to developing its own 5G network to safeguard communication channels against cyberattacks.
In a speech to commemorate Anzac Day in New York on April 25, Turnbull highlighted that the United States and its allies have to date been out-competed in the field of 5G technology, and that there is now great urgency to prioritize its development for defending national security in the cyber sphere.
