Nowadays, it seems like they're struggling with basic things like defending against social-engineered SIM swaps (even when the account has an explicit note about it) and not leaking data (not talking about the "contested" AT&T breach, but the fully admitted T-Mobile one for example)?
Outsourced sweatshops aren't meaningful competition for me - they have their customers and I have mine, and those rarely intersect. The sales pipeline and target market is completely different. My problem with them is more that they often manage to get government contracts (and thus get tax money) and then deliver no/subpar results.

At the end of the day it's clear we have a different view on these things so let's agree to disagree - my mistake is your opportunity. If you feel like prejudice against common outsourcing sweatshops is mistaken, you are welcome to exploit it (you can do so via the stock market, or by taking on locally-priced contracts, outsourcing them and pocketing the difference).
have the decency to be anonymous
I'm trying to share my experience and opinion, not fire cheap shots under the cover of a throwaway. If this means some people choose not to work with me, so be it. If I wanted to be a people-pleaser and never say anything remotely negative I'd instead join a big corp and only communicate through the PR department.

Over a decade ago, sure.

But don't take it from me, here's a more reliable source with way more experience in the field: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/5g-elephant-in-the-room/
