I just finished working on a part for Huawei. Every day, I felt like telling them to shut up. Greedy b*sturds. Ignorant of technology also. They rely on American companies to provide them the telecom engineering expertise.

But, all their good news the reporting is questionable from data I’ve seen.

No kidding.

Chinese firm Huawei controls net filter used by UK

The pornography filtering system praised by David Cameron is controlled by the controversial Chinese company Huawei, the BBC has learned.

UK-based employees at the firm are able to decide which sites TalkTalk's net filtering service blocks.

Politicians in both the UK and US have raised concerns about alleged close ties between Huawei and the Chinese government.

The company says the worries are without foundation and prejudiced.

....Homesafe is a voluntary scheme which allows subscribers to select categories - including social media, gambling and pornography - that they want blocked.

Customers who do not want filtering still have their traffic routed through the system, but matches to Huawei's database are dismissed rather than acted upon.


Same company that back in December was linked to trying to sell embargoed computer equipment to Iran, among many other things over the years.

Unfortunately, they were welcomed to my state with open arms by our Governor, and they appear to be worming their way into everything they can.
