Description
Plaintiffs, several cable television (CATV) operators and an association of such operators in Ohio (Continental Cablevision), brought this antitrust action against American Electric Power Company (AEP) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Ohio Power Company, seeking treble damages and injunctive relief. Plaintiffs alleged that defendants conspired together and with other Ohio electric and telephone companies to fix rates for pole attachment rentals in violation of ร§ 1 of the Sherman Act and abused their naturally acquired monopoly power by establishing and maintaining unreasonable rates in violation of ร§ 2 of the Act. Defendants denied any liability and filed a counterclaim alleging a group boycott among several CATV companies in violation of ร§ 1 of the Sherman Act and a pendent state-law counterclaim for pole attachment rentals due from those CATV companies that attached cables to Ohio Powers poles but refused to pay the increased rate.
