Groups Raise Concerns About Salt Typhoon Ruling With Carr Aides

CTIA, NCTA and USTelecom met with aides to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr on their request to overturn a January declaratory ruling and NPRM addressing the Salt Typhoon cyberattacks (see 2501160041). The ruling found that Section 105 of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act requires “carriers to secure their networks from unlawful access or interception of communications.” The association representatives “discussed measures that providers are taking to address past and ongoing threats to cybersecurity, including risk management and remediation,” said a filing posted Thursday in docket 22-329.
