Elehue Kawika Freemon and Lucille K. Freemon v. American Telephone and Telegraph Company; Designation for Hearing

摘要

This Hearing Designation Order designates for hearing a formal complaint proceeding to resolve material questions of fact surrounding the American Telephone and Telegraph Company's (AT&T's) handling of an operator-assisted telephone call involving the complainants in this case, Elehue Kawika Freemon and Lucille K. Freemon (together the Freemons or complainants). The issue to be decided in the proceeding is whether AT&T's actions violated Section 705 of the Communications Act and, if so, whether the Freemons suffered any measurable harm as a consequence of such violations and are entitled to an award of damages from AT&T.
