Well this is what happens to "one pony show" companies. I visited a computers / servers company yesterday, from speaking to the top guy he failed to adapt to the market and missed the issue of "the cloud" storage and computing. Several years ago they had cutting edge products, but tried to sell through the established marketing channels - they lost their pants, not realising that they needed to team up with on of the biggest in cloud services and sell their slim pc as a interface or slave/extension tool to cloud computing, between the end user and the cloud company. The company failed to realise that today a computer is a shovel, better or worse but a shovel, to dig out information or to build on information and storage. Same way of thinking is now going on in the electrical utilities markets, they forget what their actual business is - supplying reliable electricity/energy to their customers no matter from what source. Many still think that their job is to generate electricity and making a favor supplying it at an uneconomic price. Remember Enron? - Do whatever you can and hike the electricity prices Keeping with the clouds, I post this video

The much larger Huawei, known as F7 in ZTE documents, also used a cut-off company to sell to Iran and North Korea - according to ZTE. But investigations have shown Huawei asked wholly unrelated firms to bid on these contracts, firms which might later purchase Huawei equipment but have not yet. Huawei is more politically connected in China to be able to follow international sanctions. Connected to the point where most believe Huawei is owned by the PLA. Huawei has turned to the EU rather than the US to grow their handset business. Huawei always offers the best € 100 handset for the extremely budget conscious like tourists. Huawei offers these same handsets online direct in America but the market share is close to zero. Now Huawei is trying to move upmarket with a € 399 mid-market phone known as the Huawei Nova in the EU. Huawei offers essentially the same phone in America but hides their name, claiming the manufacturer is a company called Honor which offers the Honor Magic and the Honor 6X. Huawei also inexplicably sells their identical Nova line direct online in America. It's not clear what the purpose of this is.
