That's my feeling but all that Chinese manufactured 'British brand' gear must be sold somewhere and it ain't in GB...

Huawei.Originally Posted by StanleyB
I used to work at ericsson. Huawei became big competitors in the last decade by buying orders. Sometimes underbidding to a level we couldn't even produce the electronics at.... but some customers got burned because things didn't work; bad support etc.
They are state owned and have their private bank in Bank of China(state owned); so they can also fund customers projects cheaply... and again in a currency that isn't valued correctly... How to compete with that....
For years I have wondered why a case have not been tried at WTO... it is all politics
Marconi have affected my work life several times. In 95-99 my first project at Ericsson was for Mercury (Cable&Wireless) which involved Bosch's site in Backnang, Germany and we used Euristix in Dublin as consultants. The project was canned in 97/98 and in 99 Marconi bought Fore (Euristix) so we moved our projects home from Dublin.
When Ericsson bought 25% of Marconi we were suddenly working with Backnang again; Marconi bought bits of Bosch at some point.... life is full of circles.
