In the underlying FCC complaint, Time Warner Cable, along with Comcast Corporation and Bright House Networks, LLC, alleged that subsidiaries of Verizon Communications Inc. had violated the Telecommunications Act's restrictions on the use of another carrier's proprietary information for marketing purposes. In granting the complaint, the FCC found that Verizon wrongfully used information it obtained through the carrier change process in an effort to retain Verizon customers who had ordered one of the cable company’s voice services. Verizon filed a petition for review with the D.C. Circuit, which upheld the FCC’s ruling.
