FCC sides with cable in Verizon dispute

Apparently, the Federal Communications Commission voted on Friday to bar Verizon Communications from marketing to customers to talk them out of a decision to switch their phone service to cable. A majority of the FCC's five commissioners voted to uphold a complaint by cable operators that Verizon improperly used customer data in its marketing efforts to dissuade customers from switching. The FCC faced a midnight deadline for a ruling on the complaint, which was filed in February by Comcast Corp, Time Warner Cable Inc and others.
