Google breaks out its cloud revenues for the first time, Cisco releases a bundle of patches for serious vulnerabilities in its Cisco Discovery Protocol, and HPE acquires the cloud security startup Scytale. Microsoft endures an embarrassing Teams outage due to a certificate that wasn’t renewed, the Trump administration flirts with the notion of an all-American 5G (with maybe a little Ericsson and Nokia),  and Huawei sues Verizon for alleged patent infringement. Google announces version 2 of its Enterprise Edition of Google Glass and Twitter gets hit by attackers looking to match users with their phone numbers.
