FCC's Martin Drops Support for UNE Decision Appeal

FCC Commissioner Kevin J. Martin issued a statement saying that due to the Solicitor General's recent decision, he no longer supports an appeal to the Supreme Court of the recent court ruling that overturned the FCC's UNE-p policy.



Martin (a Republican) had sided with Commissioners Copps and Adelstein (both Democrats) on the 3-to-2 vote that granted state commissions a role in setting UNE rates. http://www.fcc.gov
