  • Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly : Situated, : : CIVIL ACTION Plaintiffs, : : V
    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA CHRISTOPHER KELLY, : Individually and on behalf of all others similarly : Situated, : : CIVIL ACTION Plaintiffs, : : v. : : NO. 16-5672 VERIZON PENNSYLVANIA, LLC, et al., : : Defendants. : Mitchell S. Goldberg, J. February 11, 2019 MEMORANDUM Plaintiff Christopher Kelly, the sole named plaintiff in a putative class of individuals, has sued Defendants Verizon Pennsylvania, LLC (“Verizon Pennsylvania, LLC”), Verizon Online Pennsylvania Partnership (“Verizon Online”), and Verizon Pennsylvania (“Verizon Pennsylvania”) (collectively, “Verizon” or “Defendants”). Plaintiff claims that Defendants misrepresented to Verizon FiOS Quantum television customers that they must lease multiple set- top boxes in order to access FiOS on multiple televisions in a household. Plaintiff originally commenced this lawsuit on September 28, 2016, in the Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas for Philadelphia County. Defendants timely removed the action on October 31, 2016, under the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005, 28 U.S.C. § 1332(d). Plaintiff now seeks to remand the action back to state court. For the reasons set forth herein, I will deny the Motion. I. FACTUAL BACKGROUND A. Facts Alleged in the Complaint According to the Complaint, Verizon is a leading provider of television programming, known as “FiOS,” supplied to customers across the country, including Pennsylvania. As of February 2016, FiOS was the largest provider of fiber optic broadband in the United States. (Compl. ¶ 1.) Verizon requires its FiOS customers to lease a “set-top” box for each television to be connected to Verizon’s broadband network, and customers are assessed recurring fees for the use of these devices.

How would the merger impact competition for services currently provided by Sprint or T-Mobile in any metropolitan area or other geographically distinct market? 8 The mobile wireless telecommunications market in California and throughout the US is already highly concentrated, and further market consolidation is neither warranted nor in the public interest. 8 An analytical framework for assessing the level of market concentration 15 As a general matter, wireless service price levels in the US are decidedly higher than in other western countries where multiple facilities-based carriers are present and where competition appears more intense. 22 ISSUE 3.
