DOJ/FCC Ask DC Circuit To Push Back Briefing in VoIP Symmetry Case

The Department of Justice and the FCC asked a court to push back remaining briefing in its review of an AT&T challenge to the commission's VoIP symmetry order. In a motion Friday that they said was unopposed by other parties, the DOJ and the FCC asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to give them until Oct. 5 to file their government brief responding to AT&T's opening brief, which has already been filed (see 1507310057). FCC/DOJ also asked that the brief of intervenors supporting the commission be due Oct. 26, the reply brief of petitioner AT&T be due Nov. 9, and that briefing close Dec. 7.
