Moreover, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, fixed broadband has played an important role in getting work, production, education, and the economy back on track. Huawei believes that rapid and healthy development within the ICT industry will rely on open collaboration and mutual trust across the global industry, so it will continue working closely with global partners and using its innovative ICT technologies to create greater value for customers.
