My company, roughly 400k employees and contractors, already sent security notices from the DOJ banning Hauwei, ZTE, etc. devices across the entire corporation. It effectively banned their phones from a not insignificant percentage of the population in one fell sweep.
- tomjen3 7y agoWhat do you expect people to do? Go out and buy new phones at a cost that exceed what most people can afford (400 usd, assuming you are in the US).
- bardworx 7y agoI believe most corps subsidize employee phones so the individual would not be responsible unless it’s BYOD, in which case, you would be.
- darkmarmot 7y agoI didn't make the policy, but it appears the corporation expects that you do not use any of these products in any way that might connect with our systems, per U.S. DOJ guidelines. I think it's interesting to see how quickly and strongly this was rolled out in the U.S.
