The Communications Workers of America(CWA) has filed a friend of the court brief in a legal action which could constrain SBC for establishing higher rates for its competitiors in Illinois.
"Currently, SBC is required to lease lines in Illinois to competitors such as MCI and AT&T for under $15 month although it costs SBC $27 per month to maintain each customer access line. Local regulators set these rates under a Federal Communications Commission regulatory structure known as Unbundled
Network Elements Platform (UNE-P)."
This litigation is a good example of how regulatory controversies
virtually never end.
