Cell Phone Number Portability Ruling

Posted by michael on from the dragging-their-feet dept.

Ken@WearableTech writes "Checking the Court's Opinion site every day has paid off. Verizon's action on the FCC's number portability ruling was dismissed by the D.C. Court of Appeals. The court found that Verizon had waited far too long to bring the challenge and it also sided with the FCC's interpretation of the Law rather than Verizon. Barring any other action we may see number portability this year. Unfortunately, Verizon is already lobbying to have the law changed. But it was also nice to see Cingular was on the FCC's side of the case."

    Ha! Number Portability. That's sooo 1999. And some Americans think the world envies them.

    It's because they aren't some benevolent charity, they are a corporation. I realize some of you slept through business class, but the point of a corporation is to make money, not to help the customer.
