I'll be surprised if the info is released. The data is all available
already. Just nothing specific to a company. And specific company data
won't do anyone any real good.
This has been going on for several months now if it's the same case.

Public Notice To Service Providers Who Filed FCC Form 477s With The
Commission And Sought
Confidential Treatment Of The Information Submitted
This Public Notice notifies all filers who sought confidential treatment of
their Form 477
information that the public release of this information is being sought. The
following litigation is pending
in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia: Center for Public
Integrity v. Federal
Communications Commission, Civil Action No. 06-1644 (RMC). Plaintiff
initiated this action under the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. ยง 552, as amended, seeking
release of all FCC Form 477s
filed with the Commission. The Wireline Competition Bureau previously denied
plaintiff's FOIA request
for these records, pursuant to FOIA exemption 4, because it found that the
requested records contain
commercially sensitive, competitive information and that release would cause
harm to the entities that
submitted the requested information. The plaintiff has filed for de novo
review of its request by the U.S.
District Court. The Commission's brief in this proceeding is due to be filed
with the court on January 8,
2007.
For further information, contact Michael A. Krasnow, Office of General
Counsel, (202) 418-
7924.
