WASHINGTON, Oct 15 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Communications Commission said on Wednesday it is moving to revoke the authority of Hong Kong telecom carrier HKT International to operate in the United States, citing national security concerns.

The U.S. telecom regulator issued a show cause order directing HKT and its subsidiaries to explain why the FCC should not commence revocation proceedings, citing its affiliation with China Unicom Americas 0762.HK.

The FCC previously voted to revoke the authorization for China Unicom and other Chinese telecom carriers to operate in the United States.
