What this bill does
- The FCC cannot issue satellite licenses or allow foreign satellites to access U.S. markets if they're linked to entities posing national security risks.
- Foreign satellite companies and their affiliates, particularly those providing communications equipment on the FCC's security concern list, are affected.
- The FCC will enforce these restrictions immediately using its existing Covered List of risky equipment and service providers.
