SBC Applauds FCC Ruling on Internet Telephony Charges

SBC Communications applauded the FCC's ruling on access charges for calls carried over AT&T's IP backbone. SBC described AT&T's decision two years ago to stop paying access charges for calls that traveled -- if only for a brief distance -- over its IP backbone as an " illegal self-help scheme." SBC said it would begin the process of collecting access charges from AT&T and others who owe them. http://www.sbc.com
