That sounds more like it's about things like CMTS routers and other upstream gear.
Anthony White
Did you even read the first line of the link you posted? They're not banned from the US entirely, they just can't sell to orgs that get FCC money
Luke Taylor
Its going to get to the point where every device that is legal to use has a hardware backdoor by fucking law.
Justin Torres
This is just the first step... They are trying to pursue Huawei to add a backdoor into their ICs

IT'S THE FREE MARKET, user (free for me, not for you!)
It's not phones, it's telephony infrastructure equipment and internet infrastructure equipment They're pulling this PR bullshit to get normalfags to support them when China makes a claim to the WCO and the WCO sanctions the US for some millions, this is quite relevant now that the new NAFTA is being negotiated, since it gives some more leverage to Mexico and specially Canada

Cameron Gonzalez

Seems fair to me, but I think other countries should do the same with networking equipment that comes from the USA, after all is full of NSA backdoors.
Isaiah Torres

Evan Phillips
>HUAWEI AND ZTE SMARTPHONES >SMARTPHONES Nigga nobody cares about that. They sell carrier equipment.
lol no, even Australia is banning the use of Huawei in internet infrastructure. You just can't trust whether the Chinese are going to backdoor your infrastructure or even disable it at their whim because you may have supported Taiwan or something. You have to remember that all "private" companies in China are government owned, and that using Huawei is basically giving control to China.
