The FCC has adopted an Order on Revocation and Termination revoking the ability of Pacific Networks Corp and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ComNet (USA) LLC, to provide domestic interstate and international telecommunications services in the U.S.  The companies have been advised to discontinue any domestic or international services within 60 days of the release of the Order.  The Commission determined that based on the companies being subject to exploitation, influence, and control by the Chinese government it is in the public interest to revoke their section 214 authority to safeguard U.S. telecommunications infrastructure from potential security threats.  The FCC will issue a consumer guide advising ComNet’s customers of other options for calling card services.
