   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-3109
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Smith and Benton, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Telecommunications Act of 1996. For the court's prior opinion, see Sprint Communications Co. v. Jacobs, 690 F.3d 864 (8th Cir. 2012), reversed in Sprint Communications Co. v. Jacobs, 134 S. Ct. 584 (2013). In light of this court's holding in Iowa Network Services, Inc. v. Qwest Corp., 363 F.3d 683 (8th Cir. 2004),the court concludes that Congress did not intend that issue-preclusion principles bar federal-court review of the issue involved here: whether the nomadic intrastate long-distance VoIP calls at issue are information services, payment for which should be governed by a reciprocal compensation agreement, or telecommunications services subject to state access charges; reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
