FCC to Vote on Reversing Telecom Cybersecurity Mandate

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) plans to vote on a proposal to rescind cybersecurity requirements for telecommunications carriers that were enacted in January 2025. The decision follows criticism from FCC Chair Brendan Carr, who argues that the rules are ineffective and legally questionable. This move comes in the context of previous cyberattacks attributed to the Chinese government targeting telecom infrastructure.
