Court To Hear From Bell Rivals

COURT TO HEAR FROM BELL RIVALS
[SOURCE: Technology Daily, AUTHOR: David Hatch]
A U.S. District Court judge in Washington will hear oral arguments Wednesday on whether Comptel, a telecommunications industry association, should be granted intervener status in a judicial review of two recent telecom mega-mergers. A favorable ruling for Comptel would be significant, because the association represents many competitors of the former regional Bell operating companies who are critical of the recent combinations of AT&T with SBC Communications and MCI with Verizon Communications.
