FCC Denies China Unicom's Request for Extension on Revocations

The FCC denied a request by China Unicom (Americas) for to extend from April 4 to July 2 the time it has to discontinue the Section 214 services it provides enterprise customers. “The motion does not contain sufficient justification or evidence to support a 90-day extension,” the Thursday order said: “If CUA’s existing enterprise customers are experiencing difficulty with transitioning to a different service provider within the timeframe set forth in the Order on Revocation, we would reasonably expect CUA to identify these customers and/or to provide supporting affidavits from these customers.” Commissioners voted 4-0 in January to revoke the Chinese company’s authorizations (see 2201270030). The International, Wireline and Enforcement bureaus issued the order.
