WASHINGTON, April 25 (Reuters) -

The Federal Communications Commission said Thursday it is ordering the U.S. units of China Telecom , China Unicom

and China Mobile to discontinue fixed or mobile broadband internet operations in the United States.

The FCC said it was requiring the Chinese carriers to discontinue services within 60 days of the effective date of the net neutrality order approved on Thursday. The order also applies to Chinese telecom Pacific Networks and its wholly owned subsidiary ComNet. The commission previously had barred the companies from providing telecommunications services.
