..while they intercept eqpt and install backdoors that they use to spy on americans.


china flipped out a few weeks back when some eqpt they ordered to be shipped direct by fedex made a odd pitstop thru cali or somethin

so yea the political games will continue. and china probably can/will spy & collect data thru huawei.

thats not whats slowing the US 5g deployment tho.

US is as big as korea, japan, and western EU combined, and we dont have heavyhanded infrastructure laws where at&t has the right to put a pole in your front yard like other countries, or even install 5G boxes on the existing poles without local govt hearings/zoning board approval/etc.
and thats not even getting into the complications of the technology iteself, like mentioned in the link in the earlier reply, where even when 5G mmwave is deployed, it is experiencing lots of gaps, blockage from street signs, trees, etc.
so yea despite whatever trump is tweeting about, 5G has a long way to go b4 being meaningful
