Partner Trey Hanbury Quoted by Communications Daily Regarding the Growing Technology Battleground Between China and the United States
News
November 20, 2023
Partner Trey Hanbury recently was quoted in Communications Daily as moderator of a panel of experts from Capitol Hill and the National Security Council to discuss the impact of a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) order which tightened the restrictions on the sale of technology equipment from untrusted vendors.
In the article, Trey talks about the long-time concerns of US government officials on non-authorized equipment being sold to companies in the United States, saying “Congress and the White House have been moving to address security risks in commercial infrastructure and equipment for years. The SECURE Technology Act of 2018 was the first real foray into trying to secure previously insecure equipment and vendor activity.”
The article also notes that while the United States remains a global leader in most technologies, foreign rivals with fewer safeguards against insecure equipment could potentially dominate some technology fields. "Some worry China seems poised to dominate technological fields like AI, biotech, quantum science, and space. Technology now is a bit of a battleground, whether we like that or not,” Trey said.
Trey serves as Co-Chair of the firm’s Communications, Internet, and Technology practice.
