FCC Proposes Tighter Undersea Cable Rules, Restricts Chinese Firms While Expediting U.S. Tech Giants' Approvals

According to Reuters, the FCC announced on Wednesday (June 3) proposed new regulations to tighten oversight of undersea telecommunications cables. The rules would impose stricter restrictions on Chinese companies while offering faster approval processes for "trusted" U.S. firms. Under the proposal, undersea cable terminal operators must apply for licenses and implement measures to prevent espionage and security breaches, comply with U.S. national security requirements, and avoid foreign equipment posing security risks. Tech giants Meta and Google are expected to benefit from expedited approval for new undersea cable systems.
