As we can read in Engadget, it seems that finally Huawei and ZTE will be expelled from the telecommunications equipment market in the United States, because after a vote by the Federal Communications Commission of the United States, which ended with 5 votes in favor and none against, the rules have been established to remove the equipment from Huawei and ZTE .

The FCC has also established a rebate program for small companies , so that all those small companies that acquired these equipment for being cheaper, will not have to face millionaire bills for this replacement, but it will be the FCC itself that will cover the, at least, 1600 million dollars that the replacement will cost nationwide.

Obviously, one of the things that will be strictly prohibited will be the acquisition of Huawei and ZTE products with the subsidies provided, while have denied a request by Huawei to reconsider designating the company as a national security risk.

Last but not least, the FCC is also considering blocking the operation of China Telecom in the United States , so it is possible that this telephone company also has the days counted in the region.
