This all circles back to the fact that none of the base station manufacturers have an open source stack that any nation can trust to be reasonably secure. Instead, carrier networks are a hodgepodge of various vendors equipment, many of which have terrible security histories (looking at you Juniper!). Its reasonable to be suspicious of non-domestic vendors, but the fix isn't to consider Ericsson or Nokia (formerly Alcatel-Lucent) secure, but rather to put this code in the public purview such that non-employees can bugfix, extend and enhance our communications networks.
