In plain English
The FCC is tightening rules so that companies testing and certifying telecom equipment must meet stronger security and integrity standards to prevent tampering and fraud. If you sell or manufacture telecom equipment, you'll need to work with certified testing labs that meet these new security requirements, which could mean switching providers or paying more for compliant testing services.
