3rd Circuit Dockets Core’s Access Service Charges Appeal vs. AT&T

The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals docketed, as case number 23-3022, Core Communications’ appeal of an Oct. 13 order granting AT&T summary judgment in its access service charges dispute with Core (see 2311140049), said a docket notice Tuesday. U.S. District Judge Joshua Wolson for Eastern Pennsylvania in Philadelphia had held that Core can’t collect millions in unpaid switched access service charges it seeks from AT&T, because Core’s tariffs didn’t authorize it to bill for those services in the first place (see 2212280001), making AT&T entitled to summary judgment on all of Core’s claims.
