# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I thought the original Singtel Optus-Huawei bid was killed in 2009.=C2=A0
ASIO (Aussie intelligence) was investigating Huawei at the time.=C2=A0 Is
there a new bid?=C2=A0 (forgive me if I missed the discussion).=C2=A0
Also, this has been Huawei's new strategy since a bunch of their bids got
killed in the 2000s.=C2=A0 They partner with major local telecoms
companies--like they're trying to do with Motorola in the US now.=C2=A0

The issue is that China's Huawei is bidding to do part of the NBN, and
the Labour government is "turning a blind eye" to it, according to
source.=C2=A0 Source says, "They just refuse to believe what they've
been told by the guys who know. The whole scheme is flawed. They're
going to spend A$43 billion on this for a population of 22 million.
That means almost A$2,000 per person. This just can't be made to work
at anything like affordable costs to the consumer. That might be
driving them into the arms of Huawei."

Chris and I were just discussing this. the plan is a national funded
and controlled fiber optic broadband network. The security issue has
not received nearly as much debate or discussion as the political
debates about cost and competitiveness, even though it was
frequently referred to during the China-Google debates. The
criticism by some activists has been that Oz will have complete
control over information. The complaint by national security types
has been that a foreign sponsored hacker (such as China) would
access a gold mine by breaking into this network, and that it should
be coupled with a more comprehensive cyber-security plan.
we need more info about it but here is the Oz House of Reps' latest
report on cyber crime which was oft-cited in questions relating to
this: =
http://www.aph.gov.au/house/committee/coms/cybercrime/report.htm
essentially the security risk argument is that a centrally
administered broadband network would be more vulnerable to foreign
attack.
Of course will defer to Jen's source on this and would very much
like to hear more details/specifics (or links to places to find
them) about the security risks.

Hi (new OZ ADP) very interesting comment about security issues...
definite split in the community about the costs, but a lot of
Australians see it as a nation building imperative. The cost is high,
but it's being compared to the railroads infrastructure (how that
radically changed things), and something that is necessary.
Matt, don't think Huawei is bidding (?) do you mean investing? (no press
about this back home)
Even if they did, the government would be very unlikely to ban
investment... create too many waves.
Also, in July Huawei joined forces with RMIT (a uni in Melbourne) to
create a Next Generation Tech Training Centre (will train 1000 students
over the next 3 years). Jobs out of this.
I think it just launched its first Android phone in Oz this week too.
Interestingly, Chinese-owned operator Asia Netcom used to provide
services for OZ embassies...
