US Blocks Huawei From Building LTE Network

An anonymous reader writes "The U.S. government has cited national security as a reason not to let Chinese company Huawei build an LTE public safety network. They're worried about Huawei's close ties to the Chinese government and the threat of any devices Huawei manufactures being bugged. Of course, whoever gets the contract is going to be manufacturing their devices in China anyway, but it looks like a Chinese company won't be allowed to deploy the infrastructure."

    Not surprised. Just like the 'Chinese success', it is all predicated on constant lies and deceptions. But considering that Huawei is Chinese gov (in fact, more Chinese gov, than America Air was US Gov). In fact, unless a company has outside participation, it is 100% owned AND MANAGED by the gov.

    How did you get modded up? If we do wiretapping of telecom networks ESP. SECURED networks, in another nation, that would be called .... SPYING. And NO nation sees that as being legal.
