AT&T is fighting back against a $106,000 fine imposed by the FCC in late July after the commission said the carrier violated rules governing E-Rate pricing requirements. The company said it didn’t break any rules and that the regulator is making its own rules via “Enforcement Bureau fiat.”
In a blog post published Friday, AT&T’s Joan Marsh, vice president of federal regulatory, said that the provider did not violate rules requiring AT&T to charge school districts the lowest corresponding price (LCP). Those rules state that a provider can’t charge more than the lowest price charged to a similarly situated customer buying similar types of telecommunications services
