Description
The plaintiff, Bell Atlantic Mobile, Inc., is a commercial mobile radio service provider licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (commission), to provide cellular service in Connecticut. The plaintiff appeals *fn1 from the judgment of the trial court dismissing its administrative appeal from a decision of the named defendant, the department of public utility control (department), concerning universal telephone service contributions. The plaintiff claims that the trial court improperly concluded that: (1) federal law does not preempt General Statutes § 16-247e *fn2 to the extent that it requires commercial mobile radio service providers to contribute to the state universal service program; (2) the assessment methodology employed pursuant to § 16-247e does not violate federal law; and (3) § 16-247e does not have an unlawful discriminatory effect among commercial mobile radio service providers such as the plaintiff. We disagree with the plaintiff's claims and, accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
