Agreed. Where is Google in China? FB? YouTube? Twitter? GitHub? ... the list goes on and on.
This decision does affect US consumers, but not in a significant way...we still have access to cheap smartphones.
Chinese companies can't have their cake and eat it too!
- kharms 9y agoIf there is an effect on the US consumer, it's at the wireless service level not phone level. >Huawei engineers and executives also make regular visits to U.S. carriers to show off new technology, and the potential cost savings are “significant”—sometimes even half off competitors’ prices, says one former U.S. telecom executive. >U.S. wireless service costs $41 per month per customer on average, according to the data and analytics firm—second only to Canada, which also largely discourages Huawei equipment. In the U.K., where Huawei is allowed but closely scrutinized, the average wireless bill is $23 a month. https://www.wsj.com/articles/huawei-long-seen-as-spy-threat-rolled-over-u-s-road-bumps-1515453829 https://www.wsj.com/articles/huawei-long-seen-as-spy-threat-...
