FCC запретила Digitalsystem Technology предоставлять телеком-услуги из-за связей с Китаем

On July 7, 2026, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) denied a California-based IT company Digitalsystem Technology permission to provide international telecommunications services. The Commission added the company to an official list of organizations posing a risk to US national security, citing its ties to Chinese telecom firms and ownership by a Chinese national.

Why the FCC Blocked Digitalsystem Technology

The Federal Communications Commission expressed serious concern that the company's ownership structure creates a risk that Chinese government agencies and cyberattacks could exploit it for unauthorized access to American telecommunications infrastructure. Two key factors were cited in the Commission's decision: connections to Chinese telecom companies and the owner's status as a Chinese citizen.

• Company: Digitalsystem Technology (Los Angeles, California)
• Owner: Chinese citizen
• Ties: Chinese telecommunications firms
• Decision: denied license for international telecom services
• Status: added to national security threat list, July 7, 2026

Licensing Process and Consequences

In the United States, companies wishing to provide international telecommunications services must obtain FCC approval. The Commission conducts a review to ensure compliance with national security requirements. The denial means that Digitalsystem Technology will not receive permission to operate in the American telecommunications sector and provide services to American clients and business partners.

Such a ban has serious economic and strategic consequences: the company loses access to one of the world's largest telecommunications services markets.

Historical Context of Isolation

The blocking of the company continues the trend that began with restrictions on the use of Huawei and ZTE equipment in American telecommunications infrastructure. The FCC and the US Department of National Security view Chinese equipment and services as potential "backdoors" for cyberattacks and state espionage. Efforts to deglobalize the telecommunications sector have become a separate direction of American economic strategy toward China.

What This Means

The FCC's decision demonstrates an unrelenting US position regarding foreign, especially Chinese, control over critical infrastructure. Companies with Chinese ownership or connections face increasingly higher and insurmountable regulatory barriers when entering the American telecommunications services market. This policy reflects a broader American government strategy for technological independence from China and is becoming a key factor in the global stratification of the telecommunications segment.
