- The SIM card for remote operator app provisioning.
- The baseband processor (that supports over-the-air
fireware updates, "typhoon boxes", and other horrible crap)
- The GSM spec, lulz (that allows for binary SMS app pushes signed by certain keys, "silent" SMS to track location, and so on by protocol standard.)
- Obsolete, broken, and purposefully weakened crypto that remains in use for backwards compatibility (and spying.) Not that it would matter anyway because traffic is unencrypted over core links.
Vodafones entire business model depends on backdoors for controlling customer equipment and tracking subscribers. Also, China numba wun!
