Open Stack

Frank,

Certain Huawei leadership entities are being targeted for very specific
reasons.  I would imagine that the everyday engineer is not of interest to
the US Government (or any government for that matter) since they wouldn't
really have any knowledge of any of the things that the US Government is
alleging.  We probably won't see any Huawei executives giving keynotes
anytime soon, but I wouldn't expect any other impact beyond that.

Hi Chris,

not sure. T-Mobile is also a foreign company in the US which conquered many
market shares.
Hopefully our name is not on the target list, yet.
