by Earl W. Comstock, John Butler and Heather Spring
On April 6, 2001, Sher & Blackwell
LLP filed a brief as amicus curiae in the
U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of EarthLink,
Inc. in the consolidated cases of National Cable Television
Association v. Gulf Power and Federal Communications
Commission v. Gulf Power. The case involves a challenge
to regulations adopted by the FCC to implement sec. 224 of
the Communications Act (dealing with attachments of facilities
by cable companies and telecommunications providers to utility
poles and other rights of way). The brief argues that cable
operators that use their own transmission facilities to provide
internet access to the public for a fee are, under the plain
terms of the Communications Act providing a telecommunications
service that is subject to Title II of the Act. Argument is
expected in the Court’s October term. |
