NEW YORK/WASHINGTON ¨C U.S. officials plan to assess where equipment from Huawei Technologies Co. has been installed, and would be concerned if it¡¯s found near domestic military bases, the head of the Federal Communications Commission has said.
The FCC also will consider how to finance removing equipment made by the Chinese company considered a security risk by U.S. officials, Ajit Pai said in an interview in New York. Pai has proposed reimbursing carriers for replacing the equipment.
¡°Any untrusted vendor with equipment in a network that is close to sensitive installations would raise a concern for me,¡± Pai said.
