FCC Adds Kaspersky Lab to List of Banned Telecom Providers

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) added Russia's AO Kaspersky Lab, China Telecom (Americas) Corp and China Mobile International USA to its list of communications equipment and service providers deemed threats to U.S. national security. The regulator last year designated five Chinese companies including Huawei Technologies Co. and ZTE Corp. as the first firms on the list, which was mandated under a 2019 law.
