43, GN Dkt. Nos. 14-28 & 10-127 (July 18, 2014). Mobile
petitioner CTIA responded to that point in its reply comments,
disputing Vonage’s underlying assumption that mobile
broadband users can connect with all telephone users, see
CTIA Reply Comments at 45, GN Dkt. Nos. 14-28 & 10-127
(Sept. 15, 2014), thereby recognizing that the definition of
public switched network was in play.
In addition, over the course of several months before
finalization and release of the Order, mobile petitioners (and
others) submitted multiple letters to the Commission
concerning the potential for redefining the public switched
network. See, e.g., Letter from Henry G. Hultquist, AT&T, to
Marlene H. Dortch, FCC, GN Dkt. Nos. 14-28 & 10-127
(Feb. 13, 2015) (“AT&T 2/13 Letter”); Letter from Scott
Bergmann, CTIA, to Marlene H. Dortch, FCC, at 13-18, GN
Dkt. Nos. 14-28 & 10-127 (Feb. 10, 2015); Letter from Scott
Bergmann, CTIA, to Marlene H. Dortch, FCC, GN Dkt. Nos.
14-28 & 10-127 (Jan. 14, 2015) (“CTIA 1/14 Letter”); Letter
from Gary L. Phillips, AT&T, to Marlene H. Dortch, FCC,
GN Dkt. Nos. 14-28 & 10-127 (Feb. 2, 2015); Letter from
Scott Bergmann, CTIA, to Marlene H. Dortch, FCC, GN Dkt.
Nos. 14-28 & 10-127 (Dec. 22, 2014) (“CTIA 12/22 Letter”);
Letter from Scott Bergmann, CTIA, to Marlene H. Dortch,
FCC, GN Dkt. Nos. 14-28 & 10-127 (Oct. 17, 2014) (“CTIA
10/17 Letter”).
We have previously charged petitioners challenging an
agency rule with actual notice based on letters like those
submitted by mobile petitioners. See Sierra Club v. Costle,
657 F.2d 298, 355 (D.C. Cir. 1981). But we have even more
evidence of actual notice here. Mobile petitioners note in
their letters that, in meetings with the Commission, they
discussed the substance of their arguments here, including
