- fidotron 10mo agoThe entire problem is they aren't nearly as "very competitive" as would be politically convenient.
- pigggg 10mo agoThey're both very expensive and the carriers primarily care about cost and features. And huawei will take a dozen devs, give them a one way ticket and put them in a hotel room near a customer to grind our whatever feature needed to seal the deal. I remember years ago talking to some EU telecom VP who was on the engineering side that said "id buy from North Korea if the price was right". We live in new times anyways - most of the carriers have outsourced a lot of the tech stuff to the vendors anyways.
- freefrog1234aa 10mo agoYes. I worked for a Cambodian telco, when there was a range of Alcatel, Nokia, etc switching equipment across 10 carriers. Huawei swept the lot within 2 years, and Alcatel staff told me they were losing everywhere - they couldn't match the price or technology. This was before the US decided to sanction Huawei.
