This is just the procedural material relating to how the complaint
will be handled. The actual complaint, and the nature of it, is not
included in this document; it is elsewhere in the FCC docket (21-194).
The procedural order is from May; the docket shows that the matter was
settled (terms not disclosed) in early July. The complaint concerned
charges for terminating VoIP calls, a matter where the FCC is very
confused, and thus leaves plenty of room for lawyers to argue how to
apply a baroque set of obsolete rules, modified over time to reflect
further confusion rather than clarification.

***** Moderator's Note *****
News about Centurylink continues to be nearly impossible to find. If
that means using the way-back machine, so be it.
