  • 210419 Testimony of Tareq Amin FINAL
    Testimony of Tareq Amin Representative Director, Executive Vice President and CTO of Rakuten Mobile Hearing on “Leading the Wireless Future: Securing American Network Technology” U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce, Subcommittee on Communications and Technology April 21, 2021 Good morning, Chairmen Pallone and Doyle, Ranking Members McMorris Rodgers and Latta, and Members of the Subcommittee. Thank you for the opportunity to testify today on this important topic. I am Tareq Amin, Representative Director, Executive Vice President and CTO of Rakuten Mobile. To start, let me say Rakuten doesn’t think of itself as a mobile operator. We are a technology company, with both Japanese and American DNA, committed to bringing the best of what the technology sector offers to advance the agility, security, and affordability of the wireless networks and services. In fact, Rakuten Mobile is its own first customer. Running on our open cloud-based Rakuten Communications Platform (or RCP), our mobile network in Japan proves that cloud-based wireless networks are no longer a vision that merits discussion. They are not just a proof of concept, they are a reality. We are driving a more diverse supply chain, with continuing innovation across multiple technologies, and providing significant consumer benefit. And, the majority of our network components come from U.S. suppliers. In today’s testimony I want to help you see through my eyes and those of our employees, executives, and customers how we decided to revolutionize mobile and wireless networks and the advantages of such an architecture for American networks. Almost seven years ago, I had an opportunity to visit the data centers of one of America’s top Internet platforms and I was shocked to see how they engineered, how they built, and how they architected their systems.
