@emptywheel Agree. I'm sure phone co's would litigate. But if they got FISC to issue the orders, FISC would uphold them.@froomkin -
@charlie_savage Also, I think there's evidence they did something very similar w/PAA, and definite did w/full take.@froomkin -
@emptywheel@froomkin You've seen something that suggests they sought new certificates after PAA lapsed? -
@charlie_savage Yes. Guess I should write that up.@froomkin -
@emptywheel I've heard they sought changes to some rules for existing certificates after the lapse, which is in same neighborhood@froomkin -
@charlie_savage HPSCI convo makes it very clear they still have a Verizon problem.@froomkin
