The Supreme Court Monday turned down an appeal from an Iowa telecommunications company that claimed Qwest Communications International owed it money for wireless phone calls that Qwest connected to its network. At issue in the case, which was brought by Iowa Network Services, is whether federal regulators have the final say on telecom rates or whether local rates can be set by state officials. Lower federal courts ruled in Qwest's favor and gave Iowa's state utilities board a role in resolving the dispute.
