Last week, the Federal Communications Commission exempted Verizon from scores of regulations for its high-capacity data business services, including requirements that it connect to other networks and negotiate deals with competitors. Now Comptel, which represents companies that compete against Verizon, and Sprint Nextel have asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to review the FCC decision. "We believe that the FCC has abdicated its responsibility to protect the public interest and instead has chosen to advance the private financial interests of a single giant corporation," said Jason Oxman, senior vice president at Comptel.
