Legal battle with RCN is not over for Comcast [Philadelphia Inquirer] “Comcast has fought the case since 2003 and it won a big victory March 28 when the Supreme Court, in a 5-4 vote, threw out the plaintiffs’ class certification status, saying the damages claim was not appropriate. … The biggest question is whether the plaintiffs’ lawyers, led by Barry Barnett of Dallas, now will try to recertify the class of Philadelphia-area cable-TV consumers for the third time to conform with the new legal standards for class-action lawsuits.”
