AT&T; Loses Appeal Over Prepaid Calling Cards
A U.S. appeals court panel upheld a Federal Communications Commission decision to hold AT&T; Inc. liable for as much as $553 million in fees on prepaid calling cards.
The three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington denied AT&T;’s petition to review the FCC’s decision from last year.
The court ruling allows telephone carriers and the government to pursue San Antonio-based AT&T; to recover fees and access charges.
AT&T; had contended the cards weren’t subject to the fees because they weren’t telecommunications services.
