You're right. Quoting from http://dmses.dot.gov/docimages/pdf89/288724_web.pdf

In light of the history of Chicago-Shanghai service, we will, furthermore, condition our frequency award to United to require that United use the frequencies allocated here to operate exclusively in the Chicago-Shanghai nonstop market, as it proposes. Should United seek to alter its service or its routing, it will need to seek authority from us to do so.
