Government moves to block ruling on long distance service
The Justice Department asked Judge Joe Kendall to stay his December ruling overturning a 1996 telecoms provision that requires Bells to open local markets to competition for long distance. AT&T MCI and Sprint seek a stay while appeals proceed, with possible action from the Fifth Circuit and Supreme Court if needed. The case could reshape the 1996 Act framework and affect SBC US West and others.
