[comp.dcom.telecom] No State Jurisdiction Over Gateways?

wdegnan@f39.n382.z1.fidonet.org (William Degnan) (02/04/90)

Is anyone familiar with details where a LEC has claimed (with or
without success) that state regulators have no juristiction over
Gateway Services -- once permission to provide the service has been
granted?

It was suggested that PacTel had taken the position that it was an
interstate service offering and therefore outside CPUC's jurisdiction.

Has anybody heard anything like this? What's the story?


Regards, Bill
