RESPONSE OF THE UNITED STATES TO COMPTEL'S MOTION FOR
LEAVE TO
FILE AN OPPOSITION TO THE UNITED STATES' MOTION FOR ENTRY OF THE
FINAL JUDGMENTS
The United States does not oppose COMPTEL's Motion for Leave to File an Opposition
to the United States' Motion for Entry of the Final Judgments.(1) Although nothing in that
Opposition warrants a conclusion that the proposed Final Judgments in these matters fail to fall
within the reaches of the public interest and most of what COMPTEL argues is repetitive of its
prior filings, the United States has no objection to the Court accepting COMPTEL's filing. If the
Court grants COMPTEL's Motion for Leave to File an Opposition, the United States offers the
attached Reply as its filing in response to the Opposition.

FOOTNOTES
1. Because COMPTEL is not a party in this matter,
it requires the Court's leave to file its proposed Opposition. The Court
may grant that leave if it believes the filing would be helpful to its
public interest determination. 15 U.S.C. § 16(f)(3). The United
States continues to oppose COMPTEL's Motion seeking leave to intervene
or to participate as amicus curiae.
