The FBI had asked the hosting companies Carpathia Hosting and Cogent Communications delete the files from Megaupload next Thursday (02/02). However, according to Rothken, the two companies agreed to postpone for 15 days for the procedure that Megaupload can try for an agreement with the U.S. government.
