China Telecom Corp. Asks U.S. Appeals Court to Block FCC's Ban

China Telecom Corp Ltd's U.S. subsidiary asked a U.S. appeals court to block the decision of the Federal Communications Commission to revoke the telecommunication company's authorization to operate in the United States. China Telecom Americas was ordered on Oct. 26 by the FCC to discontinue U.S. services by early January after the U.S. regulator cited national security concerns.
