FCC Launches Review of Submarine Cable Rules, Addresses Telecom Wiretap Security

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has initiated a comprehensive review and update of its licensing rules for submarine cables. This decision comes amid growing concerns over nation-state-sponsored attacks on critical infrastructure. The review, which began with a draft notice of proposed rulemaking released on October 31, aims to enhance the security and reliability of submarine cables that transmit information between continents. The FCC officially voted to adopt the NPRM on November 21, marking a significant step towards bolstering global communications and economic activity. Additionally, Senator Richard Blumenthal has called on the FCC to address telecom wiretap security rules.
