FCC Takes First Enforcement Action on Banned Hardware Components

Original: FCC Takes First Covered List Enforcement Action Under New Ban on Devices Incorporating Prohibited “Logic-Bearing Hardware Components”

The FCC has carried out its first enforcement action under a new ban on devices containing prohibited 'logic-bearing hardware components' listed on the agency's Covered List. The move marks the first time the commission has applied the rule since it took effect, signaling that Washington is beginning to actively police equipment deemed a national security risk. Industry watchers are looking to the case for hints about how aggressively the agency will pursue companies whose devices incorporate covered components.

Why now: It is the first concrete enforcement of a newly implemented FCC ban, giving the first real indication of how the rule will be applied.
