FCC New Authorization Prohibition Officially Becomes US Law
The FCC ban on future Dahua and Hikvision equipment authorizations is now officially law after the order was published in the Federal Register.
In November, the FCC filed an order including a prohibited purposes plan.
In this report, IPVM examines the order's publication and its implications including how it disproves Dahua's "interim freeze" marketing.
