Something I never expected to do - training Russians
Posted: April 9, 2010, 4:13 pm
I spent this morning training folks in Moscow how to use a product I make. Didn't occur to me until after I was done what a huge shift that is from just 10 years ago when it was illegal to sell them a lot of the products we now make a nice profit on.
They've regulations just like the US does as far as who can work on parts of their telecommunications networks. I can supply the tools, but Russians have to do the work due to privacy concerns. The reverse is true in many cases as well as far as non-nationals working on US based stuff. The EU is very restrictive concerning "who can do what" due to privacy concerns.
On the same topic, India has barred their carriers from using products made by <Chinese telecommunications Co> due to concerns about "extra" code inside them.
