A panel of federal appeals court judges will hear oral arguments Friday in a lawsuit challenging the FCC's deregulation of the broadband industry. The court date comes more than a year after the agency voted to roll back the rules requiring internet service providers to treat all web traffic equally. https://thehill.com/policy/technology/427763-net-neutrality-fight-returns-to-court -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190201050835.GA24784@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2019 00:08:35 -0500 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: WV PSC is telling Frontier to stick to schedule going forward for ordered audit By Shauna Johnson CHARLESTON, W.Va. - March 4th is the deadline for bids from companies interested in reviewing the landline operations of Frontier Communications through a Focused Management Audit the state Public Service Commission has ordered.
