Overview: The customer alleged that the incumbent LEC filled rivals' orders on a discriminatory basis as part of an anticompetitive scheme to discourage customers from becoming or remaining customers of competitive LECs, thus impeding the competitive LECs' ability to enter and compete in the market for local telephone service. The Court determined that the complaint alleging breach of the incumbent LEC's duty under the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to share its network with competitors failed to state a claim underof the Sherman Act. The incumbent LEC's alleged insufficient assistance in the provision of service to rivals was not a recognized antitrust claim under existing refusal-to-deal precedents. Traditional antitrust principles did not justify adding the present case to the few existing exceptions from the proposition that there is no duty to aid competitors.
