Rosenworcel Proposes Revised 'Covered List' Rules

FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel circulated an order last week aimed at “Protecting Against National Security Threats to the Communications Supply Chain through the Equipment Authorization Program.” FCC officials said the order would update the rules for the commission’s “covered list” of equipment suppliers deemed to present security concerns. Ten companies are on the list, all Chinese except for Russia’s Kaspersky Lab.
