Recent article raises suspicions Huawei violated Iran sanctions. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/19/technology/zte-document-raises-questions-about-huawei-and-sanctions.html?_r=0
Although expecting Chinese companies to obey our sanctions against Iran and not use tricks to get around them is probably unrealistic. But it’s a little humorous reading how ZTE copied the tricks of an unnamed company that is clearly Huawei.

What about the number of DoD and general federal workforce? Do those members of the workforce - do their policies and beliefs fall 100% in line with things the government as a whole says or does? You guys realize that half the shit you've heard about Huawei was bullshit put for by our government who were acting as mouthpieces for Cisco which was later RECANTED by our own government in just a few short years and then used in FEDERALLY FUNDED PROJECTS, right? I'm curious if maybe Google, Amazon, and Facebook have done anything "bad" in your eyes... Since they have direct connections to the CIA and NSA. They have an incredible amount of data and control. What's that, the NSA has intercepted routing and switching products mid shipment and modified them before sending them out? What's that, the NSA was caught weakening encryption protocols, the Linux kernel, and put backdoors in equipment from companies like Fortigate, Cisco, and Juniper - putting our own countries citizens and world governments at risk in the process? I'm not saying that Huawei is any kind of saint, or that they haven't done shitty things in the past - my problem is you and others are insinuating that every employee Huawei has ever had is some kind of scumbag while simultaneously holding up a different mirror to our own government and its employees. For fukes sake get some goddamn perspective. On Mar 19, 2016 6:30 PM, "Jason McKemie" <j.mcke...@veloxinetbroadband.com> wrote: I'd tend to agree, hence my concern. I'm not sure that just having one of the lead people from Huawei is any connection other than the obvious. This person could have had issues with the company as well, and left as a result.

First of all, what's with the $1/month/CPE? I realize it isn't a ton of money, just seems like an expense that shouldn't be there. Also, I'm a little wary of the Huawei tie-in - although I haven't researched the specific "fellow" that they're talking about.
