Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the misinformation surrounding the compliance order issued by the FCC to the three major telecom operators in Hong Kong, emphasizing that claims of urgent rectification under FCC pressure are unfounded and misleading [1][2][4]. Group 1: FCC Compliance Order Background - The FCC established the RMD mechanism in 2020 to enhance transparency and effective automatic call mitigation [3]. - On March 16, 2023, the FCC revised Rule 64.6305 to strengthen information requirements for RMD certification and expanded obligations for both new and existing submitters [3]. - Additional amendments were made on May 18, 2023, requiring service providers to respond to trace requests within 24 hours [3]. Group 2: Response of Telecom Operators - The three major telecom operators received two notifications from the FCC's Wireless Competition Bureau (WCB) in 2024, requiring them to comply with updated RMD requirements [4]. - Despite these notifications, the operators did not respond until the FCC issued a final compliance order on December 8, 2025, indicating a consistent disregard for the FCC's requests [4][5]. - The operators' lack of response suggests they were not actively working on compliance as claimed by various media outlets [4][5]. Group 3: Misinformation from Media - Various self-proclaimed industry insiders have spread false narratives about the operators' urgent compliance efforts, which are characterized as misleading and harmful [2][4]. - Claims of the operators forming special response teams and rapidly preparing compliance materials are dismissed as fabrications [2][4]. - The article stresses the need to expose and refute these misleading reports to clarify the actual situation [2][4]. Group 4: Implications of FCC's Final Order - The FCC's final order requires the operators to respond within 14 days, but it is unlikely that they can complete the necessary rectifications in such a short timeframe [6][8]. - The order also includes a stipulation that even if the operators correct their RMD certifications, they must provide convincing evidence that their presence does not threaten national security [6]. - The article concludes that the operators are likely taking measures to ensure normal international communication operations, despite not complying with the FCC's demands [9].
