Publisher Description
The United States Telecom Association (USTA) challenges a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) order finding that the Iowa Communications Network (ICN) is a common carrier. The order makes ICN eligible to receive federal subsidies for providing discounted telecommunications services under the Telecommunications Act of 1996, 47 U.S.C. s 254(h)(1). We first consider whether USTA has standing to bring this suit, and then whether the FCC reasonably classified ICN as a common carrier. We answer both questions in the affirmative and uphold the FCCs order.
