Sprint has found an unlikely ally in Verizon, which has asked an appellate court to nullify a lower court decision that requires the service provider to pay CenturyLink $12.5 million in unpaid local VoIP connection fees.
In a court decision, U.S. District Judge Robert James sided with CenturyLink and ordered Sprint the fees to the telco’s local units after Sprint refused to pay fees for connecting VoIP calls to local networks.
