Huawei files appeal in U.S. court against FCC's rural carrier purchase ban
SHENZHEN, China - China’s Huawei has mounted a legal challenge against the U.S. Federal Communications Commission after the body designated the technology giant as a security threat and moved to bar it from a government subsidy program.
Huawei said on Thursday it filed a petition with the Fifth Circuit Court in New Orleans challenging the FCC decision. “Banning a company like Huawei, just because we started in China - this does not solve cyber security challenges,” Huawei’s Chief Legal Officer Song Liuping said at a news conference at the firm’s headquarters in Shenzhen.
FCC spokesman Brian Hart declined to comment. On Wednesday, the body’s chairman said he will propose $9 billion in funding over the next decade to boost fifth-generation wireless telecommunications coverage in rural U.S. areas. The United States is now considering means of stopping more foreign shipments of products with U.S. technology to Huawei, Reuters reported last week.
Alan Fan, Huawei vice president of IP strategy and international legal policy, said U.S. rural carriers and groups submitted 90 comments to the FCC, 58% of which opposed action against it.
