From what I remembner from digs long time ago, what differentiates Ericsson and almost all other telcos is that they control the hardware of a HUGE majority of all modes of communications (not just telephones) and hence are the chokepoint for any kind of control.
Plus, the family came to power using this technique (providing "secure" mode of communication amd using it to spy on powerful people)
There was something with Obama selling something with Ericsson. I need to go back and dig again. Also recall something about Ericsson supporting and selling to ISIS against American troops.
Finding little tidbits I either have forgotten about or didnt find.
NeuStar is the company that controlled the Number Porting contract that Ericsson took over. Biden Had Firm on Campaign Payroll - Paid NeuStar $20,000. Nosuch Agency may also be linked to NeuStar
