    The FCC has granted, in part, the request of Hong Kong telecom company HKT Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, PCCW Global, Inc., PCCW Global Ltd., Gateway Global Communications, Inc., and PCCW Global (UK) Ltd. for additional time to respond to a show cause order issued Oct. 15.

    Citing ties to the Chinese government, the Commission’s Office of International Affairs, Wireline Competition Bureau, and Enforcement Bureau had sent a “show-cause” order to the HKT entities “directing them to explain why the FCC should not commence revocation proceedings against them,” which would terminate the entities’ domestic and international section 214 authorizations (CPR, Oct. 15).

    Citing the lengthy list of questions, breadth of topics covered, and the need to assemble documentation and coordinate responses across multiple time zones and continents, the HKT entities had asked for an additional 30 calendar days, to Dec. 15 (CPR, Nov. 4).

    The International Affairs Office and the two bureaus granted an extension until Dec. 1.
