I hadn't heard of any details of their problems. All I know is from the article, which doesn't say. But I expect they must have had *some* problems, or the court would have refused to hear a case without damages, even though TW would still have gained from the precedent. Cablecos have now pulled it off: they have the access and carriage rights of a "phone company", but not the tariff and other liabilities of a "telecom service".
