A comment on Pompeo Hints at Huawei Ultimatum to Countries Buying Equipment. Parent comment
We can't just boycott because these companies are too big to fail often.
I was thinking about some sort of Etherium based capital escrow.
Basically every device you purchase has like a reward on it that's backed by capital in a wallet that Hauwei would purchase.
It's theirs and their can earn interest on it BUT it's also backed by a smart contract.'
If the customers all agree that their routers have been rooted they can unlock the wallet and take the money from Huawei effectively punishing them.
... this is just my rough thinking for now.
