Residents in a Sydney suburb have rejected small cell Huawei boxes that are part of the 5G rollout. While this type of infrastructure normally requires approval, these boxes are simply being stuck on poles around the place. Their purpose is to supplement the forthcoming 5G network which will replace the existing 3G/4G network in the future. The residents so far are limiting themselves to requesting the local council to removing the undesired boxes.

Are they just fearful Luddites or are they blocking Big Brother?

    Wasn't Hauwei's gear banned over Chinese espionage accusations or something? I guess Cisco failed to produce the actual evidence so they started spreading a different king of FUD directly to the people... Any real news on what happened or are we to just speculate?
