À cause des règles de confidentialité en vigueur, l'équipe de recherche n’ a pas été en mesure d’établir si Nortel Networks avait soumis sa technologie à l'examen des instances de contrôle des exportations, qui surveillent le commerce de technologies militaires et des technologies à double usage. Le gouvernement canadien applique un contrôle sévère sur l'exportation de ces dernières, qui sont scrutées en fonction de leur impact éventuel sur les droits humains. 1, record 1, French, - r%C3%A8gle%20de%20confidentialit%C3%A9
