WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal appeals court has rejected a Verizon challenge to a Federal Communications Commission rule aimed at increasing competition in wireless broadband service.
The three-judge panel ruled Tuesday that the FCC had the legal authority to issue the “data roaming rule.” The rule requires big wireless carriers to open their data networks to smaller regional operators in places where they don’t have their own systems. The large carriers must offer network access at reasonable prices.
