Hong Kong telecom halting U.S. operations signals regulatory pressure affecting cross-border telecom.

What happened: Hong Kong telecom company HKT agreed to halt its U.S. operations after the FCC moved to revoke its authority to operate in the United States. Why it matters: The FCC cited national security concerns when it moved in October 2025 to revoke HKT's authority, and the company's agreement ends its U.S. operations.
