| Huawei, China Telecom, ZTE, and other Chinese telecommunications firms banned by the U.S. are having their potential operations in the country being probed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) amid suspicion that such organizations under the agency's Covered List may be evading previously imposed sanctions, reports SC Media. Tracking down Chinese compromise of the U.S. telecommunications industry has been under way since the introduction of the FCC's Council on National Security, which was tasked to investigate the possible usage of banned Chinese vendors' technologies among U.S. telco operators earlier this month. Additional details regarding a probe on Kaspersky, which is the only non-Chinese entity in the Covered List, were lacking. "The FCC, working through our new Council on National Security and in coordination with partners across the federal government, will identify the scope of their ongoing activities and move quickly to close any loopholes that have permitted untrustworthy, foreign adversary state-backed actors to skirt our rules," said FCC Chair Brendan Carr. |
