Business directory feud goes to court

Article Abstract:

Verizon Communications is suing Yellow Book, its business-directory competitor, claiming the latter's television commercials and sales tactics constitute false advertising with their reference to 'the Phone Company' and 'the other book'. Meanwhile, a group of dissident investors on July 13, 2004 exercised options to buy 895,240 shares of PSB Bancorp, but the stock certificates and proceeds will remain in escrow until a federal court decides if the transaction can move forward.

Article Abstract:

The Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission has ruled that Verizon Communications will not have to be divided into separate retail and wholesale operations. The PUC had also ruled that the wholesale division must abide by a code of conduct that does not favor its retail division over competitors. This is seen as a win for consumers.
