WASHINGTON, May 14 (Reuters) - The Federal
Communications Commission said Tuesday it has resolved two
investigations into the América Móvil Submarine Cable System
that connects the United States to Colombia and Costa Rica.
    The commission said the undersea cable connections had
occurred without the approval of the commission or a U.S.
government committee, which prevented a required national
security concern review. The FCC said LATAM Telecommunications
and Puerto Rico Telephone Company will each pay a $1 million
civil penalty and enter into a compliance plan.
