Frontier Seeks Dismissal of FTC Lawsuit

The FTC "fails to state a claim for false or misleading advertising relating to internet speed," Frontier Communications said (in Pacer) Tuesday, asking the U.S. District Court for Central California to dismiss the agency and six states' claim that the ISP misrepresented its DSL speeds to customers (see 2105190052). "None of the plaintiffs can plausibly allege specific jurisdiction over defendants in California." The FTC declined to comment Wednesday.
