Critical Commentary
Randall Stephenson served as the CEO of AT&T from 2017-2020. His comments on privacy showcase diverse interests, such as geopolitical and economic influence, that involve privacy.
“Without a set of standard privacy rules in the U.S., Chinese companies rolling out 5G networks and services could gain an edge, he suggests.
‘The Chinese are spending a lot of cycles and a lot of time permitting cell sites,’ Mr. Stephenson said. ‘They're not spending a lot of cycles and time on privacy policies.’”
