Supreme Court Denies Cert in Cable Antitrust Fight in Puerto Rico

The Supreme Court won't take up Puerto Rico Telephone Co. antitrust claims against San Juan Cable, denying a PRTC petition of writ of certiorari, the court said Monday on its website. PRTC (see 1803020004) and a variety of antitrust scholars (see 1804030001) had said the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision in favor of San Juan Cable, doing business as OneLink, ran contrary to past 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 9th circuit decisions.
