    The document shown at the above URL is filled with impenetrable legal
    jargon. IANAL, so I'd appreciate explanations about what the Complain-
    ants are alleging.

    This is just the procedural material relating to how the complaint
    will be handled. The actual complaint, and the nature of it, is not
    included in this document; it is elsewhere in the FCC docket (21-194).
    The procedural order is from May; the docket shows that the matter was
    settled (terms not disclosed) in early July. The complaint concerned
    charges for terminating VoIP calls, a matter where the FCC is very
    confused, and thus leaves plenty of room for lawyers to argue how to
    apply a baroque set of obsolete rules, modified over time to reflect
    further confusion rather than clarification.
