For those interested, first in my morning's inbox is a letter from Oregon State Senator Bruce Starr (R-15, Hillsboro), and Nevada State Senator Debbie Smith (D-13), President and President-elect, respectively, of the National Conference of State Legislatures to FCC Chairman Thomas Wheeler, expressing their firm conviction as of Tuesday of this week that states have the constitutional authority to preempt municipalities in the domain of communications infrastructure. The letter is not a legal memo, so it expresses little of any use. Anyone wanting a copy can probably find it on either the FCC or the NCSL websites. Next is "by hand" of today from Jim Baller, retained by the Electrical Power Board of the City of Chatanooga, to the FCC. It is a 64pp legal memo constituting a "Petition for Removal of Barriers to Broadband Investment and Competition", that is, an argument that Section 706 of the Telecommunication Act of 1996 takes precedence over Tenn. Code Ann. ยง 7-52-601 ("Section 601"). Here is the link: https://www.epb.net/downloads/legal/EPB-FCCPetition.pdf I expect the second correspondence will make more interesting reading. Eric
