POLITICO Morning Tech: Lawmakers Eye More Huawei Rip-and-Replace Cash

Congressional Spectrum Caucus co-chairs Doris Matsui (D-Calif.) and Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.) led a letter to House appropriators saying more funding is needed (beyond the $1.9 billion appropriated) to support FCC’s subsidy program to rip and replace Huawei and ZTE gear in rural U.S. telecom networks. The lawmakers cite the FCC’s ongoing review of the need, expected to be completed next month.
