Concerns Over Bill to Force Telecom Providers to Share Data With Authorities
Telecom providers are concerned about a bill that will temporarily force them to collect more data about people's travel behavior and share that anonymously with the Dutch authorities. The idea is that the data will be shared with public health institute RIVM to help track and fight the spread of the coronavirus, but telecom providers are worried that it will eventually also end up with intelligence and investigative services, sources from inside the telecom industry told NOS.

Did a Chinese Hack Kill Canadaβs Greatest Tech Company?
Nortel was once a world leader in wireless technology. Then came a hack and the rise of Huawei.
The documents began arriving in China at 8:48 a.m. on a Saturday in April 2004. There were close to 800 of them: PowerPoint presentations from customer meetings, an analysis of a recent sales loss, design details for an American communications network. Others were technical, including source code that represented some of the most sensitive information owned by Nortel Networks Corp., then one of the worldβs largest companies.

How US restrictions drove Deutsche Telekom and Huawei closer together
Internal documents illustrate leading European operatorβs special relationship with Huawei.
Global telecoms giant Deutsche Telekom strengthened its strategic partnership with Huawei last year despite growing defiance toward the dominant Chinese 5G vendor, documents reviewed by POLITICO show.
The internal company records describe how Deutsche Telekom and Huawei agreed on a deal in mid-2019 that said the Chinese supplier would take measures to avoid supply chain disruption caused by U.S. measures, as well as cover the costs of potential damages and delays.
The deal was struck just weeks before the U.S. administration imposed restrictions on businesses dealing with the Chinese firm in May 2019 β a milestone for Washington's efforts to push back against Huawei's dominance on 5G equipment.
