This is a strat for norway to deny huawei to sell to norwegian teleoperators (the biggest ones being Telenor and Telia) and can make norway join USA's ban on china

[karlo997]

yes I just realised and is editing it to meet the guidelines

unlikely that they will call of buying Huawei, what is likely is that they will diversify their equipment a bit. mostly due to cost of conversion. which is tallied to be quite high. 

 

Telia is still on edge on who they are buying from. believe Telenor has said they would use Huawei equipment.

 

 

also we still havent gotten any word from the meeting Telia, Icenet and Telenor were going to have with the goverment regarding this, laying plans for the future. That there is far from a official decision. 

 

on the plus side. Huawei seems more determined to build trust in foreign countries.

Idk about you, but national security isn’t a childish tantrum. China is not our allie. We have a business relationship, the west is ideologically opposed to China is every way.

It is when there is no evidence for anything... They should first inspect the source code of the software for nefarious stuff not throw around baseless accusations.

Nations are not obligated to show you and disclose to the world the evidence they have that could effect national security. 

 

Its not always about you and what you personally have seen.

true, but it would be nice if they could give us a hint if there is anything. 

 

instead of: "Our countries national security centers isnt in direct cooperation with eachother"

China is a great ally of the Pacific region, the free trade deals have been a huge boost to the economy. Many great deals have been reached, but we also don't want Huawei infrastructure (Although its badly needed).

Our own governments and big corp (Facebook anyone) spys on us far more than China does.  It’s to do with money.  Nothing to do with us the consumer.

As long as Telia gets the deals I do not really care what equipment they use
