FCC Delays BellSouth Vote, Seeks Comment

Stephen Lawson writes on InfoWorld:

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has pushed back its vote on AT&T Inc.'s proposed acquisition of BellSouth Corp. and will take public comments on the deal.

A meeting set for Friday to consider the deal, as well as network neutrality issues, was cancelled. Responding to a request by Commissioners Michael Copps and Jonathan Adelstein, FCC Chairman Kevin Martin scheduled another open meeting Nov. 3 where the commission will consider the proposed deal unless the issue has been resolved before then.
