China Telecom Asks FCC for Extra Time to Sell MVNO Ops

China Telecom Americas told the FCC it has a “tentative arrangement” to sell its MVNO customer base to another company, and asked for an extra 30 days before it must discontinue its resold mobile services operations. The buyer's name was redacted from the filing, posted Wednesday in docket 20-109. A Nov. 2 order gave the company 60 days to end any domestic or international services that it provides pursuant to its Communications Act Section 214 authority.
