WASHINGTON, April 25 (Reuters) - 
    The Federal Communications Commission said Thursday it is
ordering the U.S. units of China Telecom  0728.HK , China Unicom
  0762.HK  and China Mobile  0941.HK  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.
