Alex on TV, oh my oh my oh my !!! wooooohiiii ahhh

Yes, someone smart thought that it was a good idea to put the 5G management platform in the cloud, so we are making is super easy for foreign actors, already targeting the big cloud players, to fully disrupt the country communication capabilities, just by taking down one infrastructure.

It seems that common sense jumped from the boat a while ago, where the shiny goal of integral communication spying made them forget the first goal of communication infrastructure, ensuring resilience and coordination in case of incident.

When the cloud fall, you won’t be able to call for support, because phone networks will fall with it. My 2 cents.
