FCC Chair Carr Looks to Eliminate Telecom Cybersecurity Ruling
FCC Chair Brendan Carr plans to eliminate a declaratory ruling that aimed to strengthen telecom network security.
The ruling, made by his predecessor, required carriers to ensure sufficient cybersecurity protections are in place, following widespread hacks by China's Salt Typhoon threat group.
- The declaratory ruling was made in January by the FCC under then-Chair Jessica Rosenworcel.
- The decision came after Salt Typhoon's attack on U.S. telecom networks highlighted poor cybersecurity.
- Brendan Carr, then an FCC member, voted against the declaration.
The FCC's decision was based on a 30-year-old law governing U.S. telecommunications companies' cooperation with law enforcement.
