AT&T Appeals Connecticut Court's U-verse Definition

AT&T is appealing a Connecticut federal court ruling that creates a precedent in law that defines its U-verse service as a cable product. The telephone company filed its action Aug. 8 with the U.S. Court of Appeal for the Second District. The company wants the higher court to reverse the rulings of Judge Janet Bond Arterton, who has been adjudicating a dispute between the company and the state's Department of Public Utility Control against the state's cable operators and the Connecticut Office of Consumer Counsel.
