Powell’s speech, Nvidia’s chips, Meta deal - what’s moving markets
Investing.com -- The Federal Communications Commission plans to introduce a measure that would prohibit companies from connecting submarine communication cables to the United States if they contain any Chinese technology or equipment, according to a Financial Times report on Wednesday.
FCC (BME:FCC) chair Brendan Carr explained the rationale behind the proposed action, stating: "We have seen submarine cable infrastructure threatened in recent years by foreign adversaries, like China. We are therefore taking action here to guard our submarine cables against foreign adversary ownership, and access as well as cyber and physical threats."
The measure would specifically target communication cables that include Chinese-made components, reflecting growing concerns about potential security vulnerabilities in critical telecommunications infrastructure.
