   On March 30, 2023, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC or   
   Commission) released an Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on   
   international section 214 authorizations (the Draft Order and Draft   
   NPRM), which governs international telecommunications service. This is   
   the latest effort in the agency's evolving role in national security   
   issues. The Draft NPRM proposes “comprehensive changes” to the FCC's   
   rules, which it describes as “another important step to protect the   
   nation's telecommunications infrastructure from threats in an evolving   
   national security and law enforcement landscape.” Because the FCC's   
   proposals would affect any company offering international services   
   originating or terminating in the United States, a broad range of   
   entities could be impacted. This includes any telecommunications   
   provider, such as satellite and wireless providers, as well as private   
   equity firms and others investing capital in such entities.
