      This is a really big deal.

      I think small ISP's haven't looked at the entire market to find better products, such as ubiquiti. But, if they are forced out of the market (which I hope they are), then that could also drive up the prices for other manufacturers as demand increases.

      But banning products based on country of origin isn't a realistic means of security. Ignoring everything else this doesn't make sense from a security perspective.

      I bet a lot of Apple products will be in that category as well as the chips are not made here...

        They're not actually banning based on country of origin. They're proposing banning gear made by Hauwei and ZTE.

          I don't know if the CoO matters as much as the Main Office matters in this case. . . These companies are based in China and make their product there.

                          @tim_g are you getting a kickback from that link shortening service? Also, stop posting shortened links. Nobody likes those.

                            I find these articles on Flipboard, and when I go into them, it uses it's built-in browser. When I "copy link", that's what it gives me.

                            Don't click on them if you don't like it, i don't feel like taking a lot of extra time to find the real link.

                              Ars Technica used terminology "banning Chinese vendors" too. But it still appears to only be the two.

                                  Eating super hot peppers might cause brain disorders. Probably best to just not try to see how hot you can eat 😉

                                      AT&T 5G testing produce Gb/s speeds and 9ms latency. Not too shabby for a cell phone!
