Blow to Chinese operators. The USA is preparing new restrictions

The FCC plans to vote on banning China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom from accessing U.S. phone numbering resources, citing national security concerns. This decision aims to enhance defenses against malicious entities and illegal robocalls. China has strongly opposed the proposed ban, accusing the U.S. of misinterpreting national security and restricting Chinese businesses. The FCC may also impose further restrictions on internet service providers using equipment from companies like Huawei and ZTE. Concerns over cyber espionage have increased, with reports of a state-sponsored Chinese group stealing consumer call records in the U.S.
