[AusNOG] Solomon Islands loses landing rights for a cable in Sydney

[Skeeve Stevens]

I'm really confused by this bullshit.  I'm not saying Huawei is good or
bad, but Vodafone is mostly built on them, so is Optus... not sure how much
or if any Telstra has.  All carriers sell lots of their handsets.

I mean... ban them from everything, or leave them the f%$k alone... this
inconsistency is just stupid.

Affecting an entire countries internet capacity of the Solomon Islands is
just plain wrong. They should be able to chose whoever they want to build
it.
