AT&T Inc. Files an Amended Complaint in Federal Court Against Verizon Communications Inc
11/13/2009
AT&T Inc. filed an amended complaint in federal court in Atlanta demanding that Verizon immediately pull all of the ads that compare 3G coverage of the two companies. It claimed the Verizon commercials are misleading because viewers might be led to believe that AT&T doesn't have any coverage in the white spots on AT&T's 3G coverage map used in the ads. AT&T first filed suit about the issue last week. Verizon had said the lawsuit is without merit and it doesn't plan to change the maps.

W.Va. consumer advocate, staff oppose phone deal
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Some key state regulatory officials are opposing Frontier Communications Corp.'s plan to buy Verizon's wire line business in West Virginia and 13 other states. The Public Service Commission's staff and Consumer Advocate Division recommended the merger's rejection in filings Monday with the PSC."It's not in the best interest of telephone customers in West Virginia," said PSC Consumer Advocate Byron Harris.

The U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission and three other states have already supported it, he sa...Click here to read the whole Article (external link)
