American Electric Power Service Corporation v. Federal Communications Commission
Petition for certiorari denied on October 7, 2013
Issue: (1) Whether Congress, by expressly excluding incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) from the Pole Attachments Act"s definition of "telecommunications carrier," intended to exclude attachments by ILECs to the poles of other utilities from the protections of the Act; and (2) whether the FCC provided a reasoned justification for re-interpreting the Pole Attachments Act to extend its protections to attachments by ILECs to the poles of other utilities.
