Yesterday afternoon's {Omaha World Herald} (the only daily paper in
the Omaha, Nebraska area) had a very short, cryptic and poorly written
article on U S West being fined some $10 million or so for violating
some of the rules set down after the break-up of AT&T. Although there
were hints that they were fined for conducting business outside the
areas permitted, no specifics were mentioned.
I'm curious if anyone has information about what specific charges
were involved and what enterprises US West engaged in that got them
into hot water. Could it have been their CommunityLink project, perhaps,
that got them into trouble?
