The proposed rule implements President Trump’s May 15 Executive Order. Trump issued the executive order over concerns of security threats to U.S. telecom networks and said: “foreign adversaries are increasingly creating and exploiting vulnerabilities in information and communications technology and services which store and communicate vast amounts of sensitive information, facilitate the digital economy, and support critical infrastructure and vital emergency services.”Notably, the rule does not expressly single out any supplier or company, including Chinese vendor Huawei, which has also been at the center of ongoing U.S.-China trade talks. That’s unlike a Federal Communications Commission decision last week to adopt rules that specifically prohibit carriers from using federal Universal Service Fund (USF) dollars to purchase telecom equipment and services from Huawei and ZTE, over concerns they could be used by the Chinese government for malicious acts against the U.S.“While many talk of security issues surrounding ‘back doors,’ I have said many times that the untrustworthy equipment from these companies could readily serve as a ‘front door’ for Chinese intelligence gathering, at the expense of our privacy and national security,” said FCC Commissioner Geoffrey Starks in his prepared remarks last week.The Commerce Department said the selected case-by case approach would allow Ross to target and prohibit business deals “without unintentionally prohibiting other transactions involving similar ICTS that may not rise to the level of presenting an undue risk to critical infrastructure or the digital economy in the United States or an unacceptable risk to national security or the safety of U.S. persons. This approach would also ensure that the Department does not inadvertently preclude innovation or access to technology in the United States.”“TIA supports the Commerce Department’s new rules implementing the President’s May Executive Order to safeguard the nation’s communications infrastructure from foreign adversaries,” said TIA CEO David Stehlin in a statement. “TIA has long maintained that supply chain risk management is best addressed by public-private partnerships and consensus-based, industry-driven standards, but there is a place for targeted and careful government intervention. Today’s rules exemplify this approach and, through the invitation of comments from industry, represent a clear step forward towards a public-private effort for ensuring a secure communications supply chain.” -- ???????? | |||
