I don't agree with you that US vendors should be seen as potentially compromised. But I strongly support that European vendors should be used in Europe. It would be a disaster if Cisco is the only choice. We need at least a healthy rival.

Ha. Prism anyone? C’mon. Have you ever wondered why the only Chinese smartphone vendors who are allowed to sell phones in the US are the ones who agree to implement Qualcomm chipsets?
Sure but the comment looks like it was more about enterprise networking. Both Europe and the US have good companies to choose from and we’ll be worse off if they mutually block each other out. We’re better off if European and US companies request the option to audit the code.
