Excellent decision! Same here in Canada. The big providers Bell, Rogers, and Telus also chose not to go with Huawei.

Absolutely the correct decision. Huawei has significant links with the Chinese Communist Party and Chinese law states that all Chinese companies must assist the CCP when asked to do so. It is clear that Huawei are being used as an intelligence gathering tool for the CCP. Well done to Portuguese telecom companies for standing up to the CCP bullies and not selling their souls for Chinese cash.
