FCC blocks approvals for listed telecom gear
The FCC must update its equipment approval rules within one year of enactment. When the new rules take effect, the FCC will not review or approve applications for equipment on its covered list. Those rules also cannot revoke past approvals just because an item is on that list. Outside those rules, the FCC can still decide to review or revoke approvals if it finds a security risk.
