Re: It's Just Retarded!
Uniformity of kit = uniformity of vulns :)
It’s probably part of the reason tbh. Another being that the extra oversight of the Huawei kit makes it a bit more of a faff to get signed off. I’m assuming you’d want the kit tested by HCSEC before you plug it in/upgrade the software. That’s one more speed bump BT can do without.
Plus, the change to the ESN possibly caused some puckering in the nether regions. Simpler just to bin the Huawei kit. Again it’s arse covering rather than a measured response, but if it’s easier and no less secure at worst then, hey. Why not?
