quilp Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 He'll be under pressure from the Saudi's. Maybe his aim is to poke the hornet's nest, with Israel in the middle. Maybe it's inevitable? Perhaps all-out, face to face war between the big-hitters in the Middle East is the most expedient route to dragging the area into the 21st century, wiping-out the Islamists and uniting the Arabs. Israeli media have recently been trumping-up the IDF's state-of-readiness for war, with aggressive words from senior IDF general's...

manxy Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 https://sputniknews.com/business/201812271071029623-us-president-trump-huawei-order/ Trump May Ban US Firms From Cooperating With Huawei. The developments come after the US reportedly urged its allies in November to abandon the use of Huawei due to security concerns. The International Centre for Technology is set to be opened in mid-2015 by the Manx Educational Foundation (MEF) in collaboration with HP and Huawei and it is hoped that its 40 acre campus will be used to test 5G technology. How will this affect relations with US companies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again - my lot celebrated the Millennium in what you call 1979. Timezones are so confusing sometimes.

manxy Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 You are correct pongo and had to include the year so that people are aware that the Government was looking at introducing this into the public domain without consulting them which IMO, was irresponsible and might open themselves to legal action in the future. Basically, no product should be introduced into the public domain without having been fully safety tested and using people as guinea pigs for testing purposes is not on whether its in this country or anywhere else! Safe communication technology yes, unknown communication technology then No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are all sprinkled with a little bit of reliability. Depends then just how far they expand on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
