| Title: | VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC. v. LAW OFFICES OF CURTIS V. TRINKO, LLP |
| Date: | 01/13/04 |
| Case Number: | 02-682 |
| Summary: | A class action alleging breach of an incumbent local exchange carrier's duty, per the Telecommunications Act of 1996, to share its network with competitors does not state a claim under Sherman Act section 2. The activity complained of does not violate pre-existing antitrust standards, and the 1996 Act does not amend these standards; where there is a regulatory structure to deter and remedy anticompetitive harm, antitrust enforcement will tend to provide little additional benefit. |
