DC Circuit Panel Denies Neustar Challenge to FCC Choice of Telcordia as Next LNPA

Judges Friday morning rejected incumbent Neustar's challenge to FCC decisions choosing Telcordia (iconectiv) as the next local number portability administrator.

"Petitioner argues that the Commission erred in not properly determining issues relating to the new Administrator’s corporate affiliations. Finding no error in the Commission’s decision, for the reasons set forth below, we deny the petitions," wrote Judge David Sentelle in the opinion (in Pacer) for the three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in Neustar v. FCC, No. 15-1080. The other panel members were Harry Edwards and David Tatel.

Neustar and the FCC didn't comment.
