Popis: In this note we show that the Axiom of Countable Choice is equivalent to two statements from the theory of pseudometric spaces: the first of them is a well-known characterization of uniform continuity for functions between (pseudo)metric spaces, and the second declares that sequentially compact pseudometric spaces are $$\mathbf {UC}$$ —meaning that all real valued, continuous functions defined on these spaces are necessarily uniformly continuous.
