China Telecom Appeals U.S. Government Decision to Bar Its Services

What’s new: China Telecom Americas Corp., the U.S. subsidiary of China Telecom Corp. Ltd., asked an appeals court to block a decision made by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which ordered the wireless carrier to discontinue its services in the country by early January 2022.

Its filing to the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on Monday said that if the order was not revoked, it would be forced to cease “significant” operations, which would “irreparably” harm its business, reputation, and relationships.
