MOSCOW, March 26. /TASS/. Kaspersky is disappointed with the US Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) decision to ban the use of certain telecommunications-related federal subsidies for purchasing Kaspersky products and services and believes that it was made for political reasons, according to the company’s statement.

"Kaspersky is disappointed with the decision by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to prohibit certain telecommunications-related federal subsidies from being used to purchase Kaspersky products and services. This decision is not based on any technical assessment of Kaspersky products - that the company continuously advocates for - but instead is being made on political grounds," the company said.

According to the statement, "Kaspersky will continue to assure its partners and customers on the quality and integrity of its products, and remains ready to cooperate with US government agencies to address the FCC’s and any other regulatory agency’s concerns".

On March 25, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) included Kaspersky Lab and two Chinese companies in the list of companies whose products, according to the regulator, pose a threat to the country's security.
