As the Complaint alleges, in or about December, 1997, USBI and/or Business
Discount Plan transferred the long distance service of seventeen different entities from ATX to
Business Discount Plan without authorization. ATX contends that this practice is strictly
prohibited by the policies of the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal
Communications Act of 1934, as amended in 1996. The practice for which ATX brings this
action is known as “slamming”--a term used to describe the practice of changing a consumer’s
long distance carrier without the customer’s knowledge or consent. Slamming is strictly
prohibited by 47 U.S.C.A. § 258.
