Judge Rules AT&T Suit Can Go To Trial

WASHINGTON -- A California superior court judge ruled a class-action suit challenging the reliability of AT&T Wireless Services Inc.’s coverage maps can go to trial. Judge Charles W. McCoy Jr. said the state suit is not pre-empted by federal law, despite a Federal Communications Commission requirement earlier this year that cellular carriers provide maps disclosing coverage areas. McCoy’s ruling was dated Oct. 28 and released three days later by the Los Angeles Superior Court. Posted by Editor at November 5, 2003 10:24 AM
