JUDGE ASKS FOR FCC MERGER ORDERS
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
D.C. U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan, who is reviewing the Justice Department's antitrust conditions placed on the SBC/AT&T and Verizon/MCI mergers, has asked the FCC for an unexpurgated copy of its order approving the two deals. FCC General Counsel Michele Ellison told the court that she will supply it once she has contacted all the parties whose confidential information was redacted in the public order to get their permission. The FCC conditions on the merger, including a 30-month net neutrality provision, are not at issue in the court review.
