Justice?
United States v. AT&T/TWX Reply Brief of Appellate United States of America
October 11, 2018
The Department of Justice's Antitrust Division filed its reply brief
today in United States v. AT&T Inc. et al., in the D.C. Circuit Court
of Appeals. Assistant Attorney General Makan Delrahim issued the
following statement:
"AT&T's brief, which is little more than a revisionist 58-page summary
of the district court's opinion, does not remedy the economic and
logical errors in the decision. This isn't surprising." said Makan
Delrahim, Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division.
"Ultimately, AT&T never resolves the district court's erroneous
rejection of the economics of bargaining and the principle of
corporate-wide profit maximization, which are the basis of our
appeal."

Subject: FCC April Open Meeting Agenda
March 30, 2022
By Jessica Rosenworcel | Chairwoman
On the first day of March, I gave a speech at Mobile World Congress,
where I announced my intentions to promote more efficient use of
spectrum through an exploration of receiver performance and
standards. As we turn the calendar to April, I'm working to get this
review underway as soon as possible. When it comes to unleashing
wireless innovation at the Commission, you could say that March came
in like a lion and is going out like a lion. Here's what you can
expect from this proceeding and the rest of the Commission's April
agenda.
We're taking an important step in innovative spectrum management. In
the past, the FCC's discussions of spectrum efficiency have been a
one-way effort, focusing almost exclusively on transmitters. I'm
proposing that the Commission take a fresh look at how receiver
improvements could provide greater opportunities for efficient use of
spectrum. If approved, this inquiry would explore how to promote these
improvements through incentives, guidelines, or regulatory
requirements. It would also seek comment on legal authority and
market-based mechanisms that could help create a more transparent and
predictable radiofrequency environment for all spectrum users - new
and old. I salute my colleague Commissioner Simington for his
leadership on this issue and collaboration on this item.
We're improving emergency alerts. When it comes to public safety,
Wireless Emergency Alerts have been a game-changer, harnessing the
power of mobile phones to help us receive targeted, real-time
information about imminent threats. This April will mark 10 years
since the first WEA was sent. To make sure this tool is even more
effective in the future, the Commission will consider a proposal to
require enhanced reporting on the reliability, speed, and accuracy of
their WEA service, and seek comment on further improvements to WEA.
We will consider two adjudicatory matters from our Media Bureau.
We will also consider an item from our Enforcement Bureau.
- Jessica
