US EditionFCC may bar Chinese telecom companies from connecting to US networks
The FCC may remove China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom from its robocall mitigation database over certification issues and national security concerns.
- On Dec 8 the U.S. Federal Communications Commission said it may bar China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom from U.S. networks and gave them two weeks to fix robocall mitigation database certifications.
- Earlier this year, the FCC moved to revoke HKT, a PCCW subsidiary, citing national security concerns, following prior actions in 2019 and 2021–2022 against China Mobile, China Unicom, Pacific Networks/ComNet, and China Telecom Americas.
- The regulator warned it may remove the carriers unless they provide convincing evidence their presence `is not a threat to national security and is in the public interest`, which would require all intermediate providers and U.S. voice service providers to cease accepting calls from the Chinese telecoms.
- The action is the latest in a string of U.S. measures as the Federal Communications Commission recently withdrew recognition from Chinese government-controlled test labs, broadening regulatory steps.
- In March the FCC disclosed investigations of nine Chinese firms, including China Unicom, Huawei, ZTE and Pacific Networks/ComNet, while the Chinese embassy in Washington did not immediately respond.
