Calif. PUC: T-Mobile Made False Statements on CDMA Retirement

摘要

The California Public Utilities Commission is directing T-Mobile USA, Inc., to "show cause" why it shouldn't be sanctioned by the commission for making false, misleading, or omitted statements related to the retirement of its code division multiple access (CDMA) network. The commission said it would hold a hearing on this matter on Sept. 20. The PUC said T-Mobile might have violated rule 1.1 of the commission's rules when it made statements under oath indicating that "1) its code division multiple access (CDMA) network would be available to Boost customers until they were migrated to DISH Network Corp.'s (DISH) LTE1 or 5G services, 2) maintaining service to the CDMA network during the Boost customer migration would not affect T-Mobile's 5G build-out, 3) all former Sprint customers would have a seamless upgrade experience during the migration period, and 4) DISH would have up to three years in which to complete Boost customer migration."
