Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the lower court's holding that a regulatory taking claim based on confiscatory rates must be made at the Federal Communications Commission denies Petitioner's right to due process

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION PRESENTED Whether the lower court’s holding that a regulatory taking claim based on confiscatory rates must be made at the Federal Communications Commission “within the comprehensive statutory scheme established by the Communications Act” denies Petitioner’s right to due process of law because the precedents, including the precedents of this Court, hold that a regulatory taking claim of this nature would be premature at any time it could be made under the Federal Communications Commission’s procedures.
