Subject: FTC files complaint against Frontier Communications over
broadband services
The Federal Trade Commission has filed a complaint against Frontier
Communications.
The FTC claims the company did not provide customers with promised
speeds or charged them for services they could not deliver.
Wisconsin Democrat Ron Kind says that this has been a problem for a
while and it is not limited to one company. He says that providers
will come into communities with big promises on which they cannot
deliver, and it shows the need for a comprehensive broadband plan in
rural America.

Subject: US Supreme Court Upholds FCC's Modernized Television
Station Ownership Rules, Affirming Cooley Amicus Briefs
by David Mills , Robert McDowell , Barrett Anderson , John Feore and Jason
Rademacher
Ruling validates friend-of-the-court submissions Cooley filed for Gray
TV and group of national TV broadcasting affiliates
The US Supreme Court ruled on April 1 that the Federal Communications
Commission was within its authority to repeal or modify three
long-standing media ownership controls. The decision aligns with
arguments Cooley made in amicus briefs submitted on behalf of Gray
Television that, after years of challenges, the FCC's modernized rules
finally should be allowed to take effect because the agency issued
them in full compliance with its obligations under Section 202(h) of
the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Lawyers David Mills, Robert
McDowell and Barrett Anderson led the Cooley effort.
