Love it. When they announced they were getting out of the handset market years ago I figured they were nuts. Now their equipment replaces china’s while they seemingly now manufacture licensed knockoffs of Nokia’s old handsets 🤯
Someone at Nokia is getting the Bond Villain of the Year award 🤔
Both Ericsson and Nokia have been huge players in the cellular networking market for many years, and still are. Nothing new. The only thing new is that they are getting even more contracts in the west since governments started boycotting Chinese companies (for good reason).
Sure… it was more that they chose to pull out around the start of the smart phone revolution. It seemed foolish at the time. I’m not actually implying they had a master-plan, just joking around a bit.
Any opinion on the biggest risk?
They also recently won a deal with Rakuten Mobile to supply RAN equipment in Japan
Ran-chan?
In unrelated news, there’s suddenly a lot of cheap huawei equipment on ebay.
I have been looking for some rubidium time clocks… I missed the boat when they decommissioned 2G and they were going for dirt cheap on eBay. Last I checked they were far more expensive now, so let’s hope this and the 3G tear down help bring the prices down again.
Maybe that’s why China wants to dump all their old huawei 4g equipment on north korea?

win!
fuck huawei. crooked propaganda tool for the fat dictator. fuck china. free tibet & the uigurs.
Stopping the Chinese 5G mindless robots…
The what now?
More protectionist measure as national security issues. Lip service to free and open market.
Huawei owns lots of 5g patents, will be paying one way or another.
Its not about not paying Huawei. Its about the way the CCP uses Huawei to spy.
Seen plenty of example of the 5 eye spying everything, yet to see an example of evidence Huawei spying.
There is a difference between a democratic, allied government spying and an authoritarian government spying.
There is a difference between a democratic, allied government raping, killing, bombing, murdering, genocide and an authoritarian government raping, killing, bombing, murdering and genocide?
It’s okay if we do it! Double standard!
The 5 eye has been caught with the penis in cookie jar via the NSA snowden leaks. Yet to show any evidence of Huawei spying for the Chinese government.
I don’t care if china is spying on me. China doesn’t work closely with the glowies in my jurisdiction. The US absolutely does. That I care about.
Enjoy that sweet 50 cents mate.
