Hang on just one moment
I assumed that Cisco kit was made in the US and that's what this whole tariff raising, Huawei fear mongering was about, but Cisco make their kit in China? which made them a target for the tariffs, and so US telecoms networks as well as other commercial and private customers paid more due to Cisco putting their prices up. So honest Joe US taxpayer gets hit by an increase on his telecoms bill even if the providers only buy Cisco kit.
And on top of that the Cisco kit is more buggy and the bugs/backdoors are known globally where as the Huawei kit has yet to be proven to have any actual backdoors installed?
There is that line from Sneakers about the US government agencies just want to break the codes of the other US agencies? Here the US just wants to know it can easily spy on its own citizens?
