Sims v. Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Co.
Sims v. Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Co.
Opinion of the Court
The applicable tariff is as follows: “All station equipment and station wiring, other than any equipment necessary for the suitable termination of the channel facilities on the customer’s premises and other than the control equipment for reversals effected by the customer, referred to in B. 1. c. (2) (a) (I), and other than equipment referred to in D. 4. following, shall be provided by the customer. Program
Since the duties of the appellee ceased upon the company’s completion of its preparing the facilities in the telephone booth to carry the broadcast of the customer after the customer had connected its broadcasting unit to the appellee’s wiring in the telephone booth, whatever the telephone company’s agents might have done to assist the company’s customer in stretching the wire from the telephone booth to the broadcasting mobile truck was outside the scope of the authority of the agents and the company as previously held.
The court did not err in granting the summary judgment.
Judgment affirmed.
