Bankruptcy courts have done this with phone numbers, read my paper - the 'phone number as assets' in bankruptcy cases are cited in there.
Ernie, Not exactly. Bankruptcy courts have assigned the telephone contracts which include service on a particular number to new entities. If you're aware of a case where that involved a substantive modification of the contract done without the permission of the other party to the contract, I'm all ears.
On a personal note, I'm just a law student and barely 28 y/o, but I'll say it again - I am astounded that people in all kinds of forums have derided me, chastised me and given me the silent treatment during this entire conversation. This was an academic question to me, but apparently lots of folks think it's life or death or semi-religious.
Your paper was a good read and it has a lot of interesting and relevant information. But as with the rest of us, the conclusions you've drawn are untested with important parts of how the industry does business potentially hanging in the balance. You shouldn't take that as a personal slight; it isn't. On Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 7:44 AM, Jamie Bowden <jamie () photon com> wrote:
