China's telecommunications regulator has accused 102 companies in the country's wireless-services industry of illegal behavior, the latest step in a renewed campaign to clean up the unruly sector.

It did not specify what the illegal practices were, but in the past, such campaigns have been directed at controversial content and services such as pornography and gambling, as well as spam.

The list, which was published on the Ministry of Information Industry's Web site on Monday, included units of software maker Kingsoft and Shanghai Sifang Information Technology.
