171257P.pdf   07/17/2018  Qwest Corporation  v.  City of Des Moines, Iowa
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-1257
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Benton and Stras, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Federal Telecommunications Act. In this action by wire-line 
   carriers challenging the City of Des Moines' adoption of a new fee 
   schedule for right-of-way access, the City's ordinance is not preempted by 
   the Telecommunications Act; it is not clear, however, whether the 
   construction costs associated with the fees are management costs which the 
   City can impose consistent with Iowa Code 480A, and the matter is remanded 
   to the District Court to make additional findings of fact and to apply the 
   legal standard set out in this opinion.
