Verizon Opposes Proposed Core Tariff Revisions

Verizon opposed Core Communications' proposed tariff refund plan and asked that the company be required to submit a plan that doesn't bill late payment charges "for the period when its unlawful tariff was in effect," said a filing Monday in FCC docket 21-191. The FCC rejected Core's last revisions in December (see 2112080051). Core "proposes a refund plan under which it would suffer no consequences for its unlawful tariff filing" and "forfeited its right to bill late payment charges" because it filed an unlawful tariff from May through September 2021, Verizon said.
