Assist Wireless Asks Court To Dismiss its Case Against FCC on Oklahoma Map Limiting Tribal Lifeline

Assist Wireless and others asked a court to dismiss their challenge to an FCC decision regarding use of an Oklahoma Historical Map to restrict Lifeline tribal coverage in the state, according to a motion filed Friday with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit they said was unopposed (Assist Wireless v. FCC, No. 15-1324). The companies are backing an Oklahoma Corporation Commission request to delay the Feb. 9 implementation of the new map, and seeking 180 more days (see 1601190044).
