U.S. Reportedly Receives 130-Plus Requests For Huawei Licenses

from the sales dept.

Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:

No requests for licenses to sell to the Chinese telecom have been issued to date, Reuters reports.

More than 130 applications have been submitted to the Commerce Department for licenses to sell US goods to Huawei, Reuters reported Tuesday. The report comes nearly two months after the Trump Administration said some sales to the embattled Chinese telecom would be allowed.

President Donald Trump effectively banned US companies from doing business with Huawei in May out of national security concerns that the company is too closely tied to the Chinese government. Huawei has repeatedly said those fears are unfounded.

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross confirmed the process in July, but the Trump Administration has yet to issue any licenses, Reuters reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The number of applications exceeds the 50 or so Ross said the department had received in July.

    So how long until US telecoms providers are required to blacklist sanctioned devices?

    A few years back cruise lines were using their onboard GSM network to catch and seize Samsung phone models that were allegedly prone to blowing up.
