FCC may bar Chinese telecom companies from connecting to US networks 

WASHINGTON, Dec 8 - The U.S. Federal Communications Commission said Monday it may bar three major Chinese telecom companies from connecting to U.S. networks over efforts to prevent robocalls, the latest in a series of actions Washington has taken against Beijing.

The FCC issued orders saying China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom must address issues with their certifications in the agency's robocall mitigation database and raised concerns if they should remain in the database. If the FCC removes them from the database, it would require all intermediate providers and voice service providers handling calls in the United States to cease accepting all calls directly from the Chinese telecoms.
