Many of the rural providers that purchased the equipment did so because of favorable pricing and financing terms offered by the Chinese manufacturers.

While the FCC notes that many rural carriers cannot pay to complete the"rip and replace" process, these wireless providers are still required to remove all of the specified networking gear purchased from companies like Huawei and ZTE. More than half of the 126 rural providers who have requested funding have been given an extension from their original deadlines to finish the task. These extensions are limited to six months according to the regulatory agency.

Some other interesting stats have been released. For example, 32% of the rural carriers have experienced problems hiring enough labor to help"rip and replace." That is up from the 16% that reported the same issue six months ago. Weather-related delays impacted 15% of the wireless providers in the program, up from 10% six months ago. The FCC also said that some carriers complained about not getting reimbursed for funds that were laid out to remove the offending networking equipment.
