China: MCC complete the removal of banned Chinese equipment

Jul 10, 2024 | Posted by Abdul-Rahman Oladimeji

Mediacom Communications Corporation (MCC) has said that it's on course to complete the removal of banned Chinese equipment from its network this month by its July 15 deadline.

"To date, 100 percent of the program has been completed across the areas of removal and replacement, and 99 percent of equipment has received disposal certification," said Mediacom in the filing. "MCC has planned and scheduled its final shipment of covered equipment for pick-up and disposal on July 8, 2024. MCC is certain it will be fully completed with all removal, replacement, and disposal tasks before its program deadline of July 15, 2024."

"MCC did experience equipment delivery delays that significantly impacted the original MCC timeline for completion of removal, replacement, and disposal of its installed Huawei-covered equipment. Obviously, equipment could not be removed, services activated, subscribers migrated, and covered equipment disposed of until the replacement equipment was available. MCC worked closely with its OEMs, installation, engineering, and professional services vendors to mitigate any issues," it added in its filing.
