SI Wireless Seeks Another Rip-and-Replace Extension

SI Wireless asked for an additional six months to remove, replace and dispose of Huawei and ZTE equipment from its network. The deadline for SI Wireless was previously extended from May 24 to Nov. 24 (see 2404300031). “Due to a variety of reasons, most notably the FCC’s unexpected current hold on all funding disbursements” the company can’t meet the Nov. 24 deadline, said a filing posted Wednesday in docket 18-89. “The grant of an additional six-month extension, as contemplated by the FCC’s rules, is warranted and in the public interest.”
