🤣🤣 it does, it really does. Otherwise you can say that the Apple iPhone is just a Chinese phone for example.

We live in a global economy. Unless something is wholly-owned and wholly-produced within and for a specific market, only then does the country of ownership have the potential to have impacts.

My local bakery's pecan pies? Owned, baked and ingredients originated in Texas. iPhone, cars, and networking equipment, doesn't matter... as long as it's not coming from a a country with a tenuous relationship with the US government. And last I checked, the US government has a pretty good relationship with Sweden.

Sure it does. The assertion was "there is no other country that has a provider close to AT&T or Verizon with the advancements in their infrastructure", and the US simply has neither the networks nor the equipment makers for that assertion to hold true.

Exactly. Mobile networks, mobile payments, even when ahead (at one point during a roll out), it’s still so far behind. But one has to understand have experience from the rest of the world. Same happens in the UK btw.

If US telco company buys network equipment built in Texas there is no scenario where any implied benefits of nationalism would improve or provide more benefits for a particular country the owner of the factory is based out of.

There is equipment provided by all types of vendors, including real-time compute/core. If the CPUs in the servers that provide the network core functionality are built in Costa Rica by Intel, does that also contribute to whatever risk or vulnerability you're implying?

You are missing the point, that is still designed by Intel Just like Apple products made in China are still Apple's. Why does that not count for equipment built in the US but design/owned by a foreign entity?

And you seem to be missing my point. The networking gear built in Lewisville Texas is designed (and built) by people in Lewisville Texas.

Who get their guidance and training from the company 😊

Funny how all those other examples are all American, but when it's the other way around it is still American. 🤣
