The Americans were offered to decide the fate of Huawei

Last year, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) banned US carriers from buying

Huawei and ZTE equipment using consumer money.US authorities called both of these companies threats to national security. In December, Huawei demanded that the FCC's decision, according to the company, be illegal. Now the commission has announced that it is waiting until February 3 for comments and objections from Americans regarding the ban.

The problem is that the FCC decision concernsoperators in rural areas, which already have communication problems. Some of the local companies are already using Huawei and ZTE equipment, and in the meantime the commission is considering the possibility of forcing them to get rid of the equipment. All this could cost operators $1.89 billion.

US residents received a deadline of February 3, duringwho can express their opinion on the definition of Huawei and ZTE as a threat to national security. The Commission said it would consider all comments before announcing a final decision on the issue.
