Fear of Huawei?

A friend writes: “The Indian government has put a hold on Huawei Technologies‘ business in India following an analysis showing that the country’s strategic telecommunications network could be compromised by Huawei’s presence. Of particular concern are Huawei’s ties to the Chinese government and military, the report says. Huawei, which has operated in India since 1999, has not commented.”

Good time for Cisco to parachute 100 sales people. This could actually be a bigger problem for Huawei going forward. India is one of the big markets for the telecom equipment maker.
