Meyer led the discussion*. He stated AT&T and Verizon are essentially asking to argue to the Commission that it made an error of law in its decision to regulate the VoIP services of Time Warner Cable Information Systems. He noted that AT&T and Verizon did not seek to file those arguments in the original case, even though the Wisconsin State Telephone Association, of which Verizon is a member, was an active and aggressive participant in the proceedings. He said he had two primary reasons for his reluctance to permit these briefs: First, he said, this matter is at the rehearing stage and permitting these filings could delay the conclusion of this case. Second, he said, is there’s no new evidence on the issue in question. Meyer said the request appears to be an opportunity to comment on the original case and not on whether the commission erred in making its determination.
