FCC commissioner calls for new scrutiny of undersea data cables

WASHINGTON - A member of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission on Wednesday called for new scrutiny of undersea cables that transmit nearly all the world’s internet data traffic.

“We must take a closer look at cables with landing locations in adversary countries,” FCC Commissioner Geoffrey Starks said Wednesday at a commission meeting. “This includes the four existing submarine cables connecting the US and China, most of which are partially owned by Chinese state-owned companies.”

GJabberbox That's a great idea. It's probably Easy to take a sub down there at least part way to tap into those cables.

I think that is good. Just block them.
