snydeq writes "The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear an antitrust case that alleges AT&T squeezed out small ISPs by charging too much for wholesale access to its phone network. The case, originally brought to U.S. District Court in 2003, had been appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. But AT&T requested the case be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court on the grounds that prior conflicting appeals court decisions in this area should be resolved by the Supreme Court. LinkLine Communications and the other small California ISPs involved in the suit, originally brought against predecessors of AT&T, will ask the case be sent back to District Court. As part of the case, the Supreme Court will likely also ascertain whether AT&T could violate antitrust law without setting its retail prices below its own cost."
