DC Circuit Rejects China Telecom Stay of FCC Revocations

China Telecom Americas didn't satisfy "the stringent requirements for a stay pending court review," the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit said in an order Thursday (docket 21-1233) denying the company's emergency motion for a stay of the FCC’s October order revoking the company’s domestic and international authorities (see 2111080056). The decision was made by Judges Cornelia Pillard, Justin Walker and Judith Rogers. China Telecom outside counsel didn't comment. The company is also appealing the revocation (see 2111150025).
