US bans Chinese telecoms imports – won't even consider authorizing them
The new arrangements mean the FCC will also ban assessing white label products built by the five Chinese vendors named above. In addition to networking equipment and CCTV products, phones, cameras, Wi-Fi routers and other smart home kit won't be authorized for sale on US soil.
The FCC signaled this is not the end of its efforts to prevent insecure kit reaching US shores and becoming present in local networks. FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel pointed out that the[PDF] ending authorizations of Chinese products also asks whether the regulator should consider revising the processes it uses to assess components made in China – perhaps by asking equipment suppliers to demonstrate that none of the parts they use are on any FCC naughty list.
The Order notes that doing so would be a considerable burden on manufacturers and network operators alike, so may not be workable. The FCC is nonetheless pressing ahead with consultations on the idea. ®
