Supreme Court Hears Pay Phone Fee Case
The Supreme Court was scheduled to hear oral argument on Monday morning in Sprint Communications v. APCC Services, a case involving a dispute over pay phone fees. Last year, the court ruled in Global Crossing Telecommunications v. Metrophones Telecommunications that pay phone operators could sue for greater compensation. Yes! Pay phones. We might as well be talking about 8-track tapes or Johannes Gutenberg's printing press. For those of you who might have forgotten, since we now live in a mobile device-driven world, a pay phone is a coin-operated public telephone (see adjacent photo). A case preview written for the SCOTUS Blog by Akin Gump's Steven Wu is available here.
