"US Telecom Agency Considers Expanding Authority over Huawei and ZTE Amidst Security Concerns"

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is proposing to reinstate net neutrality rules, which could give it more authority to require the removal of Huawei and ZTE equipment from US networks, including data centers. The proposal seeks public input on whether the new rules would allow the FCC to demand the removal and replacement of Chinese equipment and services, and if it could prohibit Chinese equipment in network infrastructure. The FCC previously banned approvals of new telecom equipment from Huawei and ZTE due to national security concerns. The proposal faces an initial vote on October 19.
