Rosenworcel urged the FCC to adopt rules swiftly for a spectrum auction aimed at funding the removal of Huawei and ZTE equipment, emphasizing national security.
The ongoing Typhoon cyberattacks underscored the urgency for more funding, compelling Congress to authorize the FCC to borrow up to $3.08 billion for the Rip and Replace program.
Rosenworcel highlighted that only 12% of telcos and ISPs have removed Chinese equipment, stressing the need for substantial additional funding to complete the project.
The FCC plans to auction unassigned AWS-3 spectrum rights to repay its loan, a necessary move to ensure safer and more secure telecommunications in the U.S.
