U.S. would create a plan to boost secure internet and phone networks around the world.
This bill would make the U.S. government develop a strategy to promote secure internet and phone networks in other countries. It aims to counter the influence of companies linked to China in global telecommunications. This means other countries could get help to use more secure technology, and reports would detail foreign influence on global internet rules.
Today, there is no specific, mandated strategy led by the Department of State to promote secure telecommunications infrastructure globally. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of State would be required to develop such a strategy within 90 days, consulting with multiple federal agencies. Additionally, two new reports would be required within 90 days: one on Russian and Chinese influence at the International Telecommunication Union, and another on opportunities for the U.S. to work with allies to build secure global internet infrastructure.
