Cahill Prevails: Oklahoma Supreme Court Denies Review of Favorable Ruling for Cable One against Oklahoma Tax Commission by the Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals
October 3, 2017
On September 25, 2017, the Oklahoma Supreme Court denied review of a Cahill victory in the Court of Civil Appeals of the State of Oklahoma, which ruled Cable One does not meet the statutory definition of a transmission company. This ruling is a significant victory for cable television companies operating in Oklahoma; the introduction of interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) service to subscribers does not trigger a reclassification of a company as a transmission company for tax purposes in the State of Oklahoma.
