The NPRM seeks comment on a proposal to prohibit all future authorizations of communications equipment that has been determined to pose an unacceptable risk to U.S. national security, as identified on the Covered List published by the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau.
Translation: how should we generalize the Huawei rule so that we don't specifically and illegally pick on the Chinese? The short answer is: you shouldn't. The FCC is poorly equipped to operate in the national security space and I think changing it's footing to adequately operate in that space would likely impair its core mission. Let security agencies decide when an import should be banned and let them ban it independent of the FCC's activity. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill () herrin us https://bill.herrin.us/
