With the transformational capabilities that the government officials expect from 5G, they have grave concerns about the Chinese companies turning data to the Chinese government or using 5G tech in U.S. or allied networks for the Chinese government\u2019s gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMuch of this equipment lies next to military bases in this country,&#8221; said Rosenworcel. \u201cIt\u2019s insecure and we need to move it out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s just one significant problem underlying the government\u2019s recognition of the dangers the technology poses: it doesn\u2019t know how much \u2014 or where \u2014 the telecom giants\u2019 products are in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The FCC is currently seeking comment to identify where and the extent of the Chinese tech is out there. It plans to vote Nov. 19 on a <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.fcc.gov\/public\/attachments\/DOC-360522A1.pdf\" target=_blank>proposed rule<\/a> that will ban the FCC\u2019s Universal Service Fund, which provides broadband to rural areas, from buying ZTE and Huawei products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The notice from the FCC would also require all carriers who participate in the USF fund to take out all technology in their products that originate from Huawei and ZTE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have to know where it is before can we decide what dollars to make available to help rip and replace it,&#8221; said Rosenworcel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cost could be steep, Rosenworcel said, with cost estimates of rip-and-replace landing between $700 million and $1 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Problems beyond the borders<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concerns multiply when discussing the implications of Huawei and ZTE products in the networks of the United States\u2019 allies. The Chinese telecom providers\u2019 technologies are cheap. Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., said that several European nations are considering using Huawei to build out their 5G networks, choosing them over European-based providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strayer, who has traveled the world talking to foreign governments about 5G and risk, said that several governments have said they won\u2019t allow Huawei and ZTE products in the \u201ccore\u201d of their network, but noted that raises questions of why they would let these providers operate on the \u201cedge\u201d of their network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To advance the United States\u2019 security, Strayer called on the senators to have conversations with their counterparts in foreign governments, arguing that \u201cthis is really about our fundamental values and about geopolitical threats.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re going to have to start thinking about the technologies that allow us to be secure in a world where we have to connect to insecure networks,\u201d Rosenworcel said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The government needs a comprehensive plan
