I mean, you see this with MikroTik all the time. The recent L3HW-enabled devices (up to 400G now) are so good it's crazy, and European onshore manufacturing, too. However, it doesn't support a subset of legacy "Enterprise" features, even though there's always a way to do the same thing using different architecture to how ISP guys have been trained many years ago, so instead we hear all the time that it's inadequate.

5G is a breath of fresh air in the sense that a lot of new techniques and broadly-applicable architectures were introduced to ISP's. I'm telling you, they HATED it. They absolutely hate learning new thing and that may as well be the largest blocker for disruptive players in the market.

I love this you and the other guy conspiracy lol. Telco bas, Ericsson bad. Okay if your stuff is so good why is it not dominant? Ah yes its all a conspiracy.

"Hate learning new stuff" = This ISP, LTE, NR stuff is all fairly new lol

Not all ISP's are like that. MikroTik is used by many ISP's in Europe. Dominant? Not yet, but it's getting there! U.S. is not really popular these days, you know? Trust in the pesky, backdoored Cisco switches is at an all-time low, cost notwithstanding. This is pushing telcos to consider alternative architectures that do not require certain proprietary features pushed by the big-three switch and router manufacturers.

This is not rocket science.

Ericsson and Nokia are Swedish and Finnish.

I am Swedish.

American? What are you on about?
