A FEDERAL appeals court on Tuesday (Dec 20) rejected China Telecom’s challenge to a US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) order withdrawing the company’s authority to provide services in the United States.
A three-judge panel of the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia rejected the bid by the US arm of China Telecom to reverse the order that took effect in January.
The FCC said in 2021 China Telecom (Americas) “is subject to exploitation, influence and control by the Chinese government.”
In 2019, the FCC voted to deny state-owned Chinese telecom firm China Mobile the right to provide US services and later withdrew US authorisations for several Chinese telecom carriers. REUTERS
