Verizon Denied Temporary Restraining Order Against Time Warner Cable

A federal judge denied Verizon Communications’ request for a temporary restraining order to block two Time Warner Cable TV spots mocking the telephone company’s FiOS services. Verizon alleged the cable operator’s TV ads make “literally false” statements about its FiOS services, including implying that the FiOS TV service requires a satellite dish; that Verizon was late to adopt fiber-optic networking technology and that Time Warner Cable's fiber-optic network is superior. Judge Lewis Kaplan of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York turned down Verizon’s request April 10.
