Hi Voornaam
On this particular occasion I decided to go deep into a a subject that has been a source of both fascination and frustration for me - the geopolitical intrusion into the global 5G rollouts.
As 2020 draws to a close, at some future time perhaps we may view this rather remarkable period as the year of hysteria, hypocrisy, and cognitive dissonance. No, I'm not talking about Covid-19 but the wilful decimation of Australia's and indeed the rest of the world's 5G strategy.
Rarely does a headline cause my hackles to rise but one that appeared in the Telegraph UK actually threatened to make me ill. The article, penned by columnist Juliet Samuels, was titled 'Germany’s prevarication on Huawei 5G is bleak news for the free world'.
As always, there is a plethora of more information in the list of stories below and a couple of orders of magnitude more on wirefreez.com!
Best regards
Stan Beer
