The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) said on March 17 it has begun efforts to revoke authorization for China Unicom Americas, Pacific Networks and its wholly-owned subsidiary ComNet to provide U.S. telecommunications services.
In April, the U.S. telecom regulator issued show-cause orders warning it might revoke the operating licenses of three state-controlled Chinese telecommunications companies—the two cited on Wednesday and China Telecom Corp Ltd. China Unicom Americas has a two-decade-old authorization to provide U.S. international telecommunications services.
