China’s Dystopian “New IP” Plan for a New Internet
This is a hilarious scaremongering article written for those who are clueless. No surprise as it turns out it is from the comically named neocon outfit Foundation for the Defense of Democracies which is the most bellicose warmongering think tank in DC. They never met a poor third world country that they didn’t want bombed.<p>As for 6G the reason we have no leadership is that Lucent was run into the ground by a mindset of constantly meeting Wall Street earnings expectations.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucent" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucent</a><p>Huawei surpassed the Europeans (Ericsson, Nokia Siemens etc...) because they invested and innovated and bet the farm on the foundational technology invented by Erdal Arikan.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdal_Arıkan" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdal_Arıkan</a><p><a href="https://www.wired.com/story/huawei-5g-polar-codes-data-breakthrough/" rel="nofollow">https://www.wired.com/story/huawei-5g-polar-codes-data-break...</a><p>> Huawei is proposing a fundamental internet redesign, which it calls “New IP,” designed to build “intrinsic security” into the web. Intrinsic security means that individuals must register to use the internet<p>We forced the world after 9/11 to block anonymous Internet. You cannot get Internet anywhere without ID. You used to be able to get prepaid SIM cards in most countries till we put pressure on them.<p>> Instead, Huawei has worked through the United Nations’ International Telecommunications Union (ITU), where Beijing holds more political sway.<p>The ITU is the right address that most countries accept as the standards bodies for telecommuncations interoperability. By the way we don’t have to abide by the ITU or the world as we routinely ignore the UN anyways.<p>In fact there is precedence of us going our own way. We adopted CDMA and majority of the world adopted GSM in the first phase of the digital mobile adoption. They only truly converged on a mass market level about 15-20 years later with 4G.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Telecommunication_Union" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Telecommunicatio...</a><p>We can create our own version of 6G and ignore other approaches.
