Finally, Northeastern challenges conduct related to the revised tariffs AT&T filed in response to the FCC'sCarterfonedecision. After the Commission had invalidated the

*81proscription against interconnection of customer-owned terminal equipment in 1968, AT&T proposed tariffs requiring that all such equipment be interconnected via a "protective coupler arrangement," to be provided, installed, and maintained by the local operating companies at the customer's expense. These couplers were intended to protect the telecommunications network from certain electrical problems that might result from the use of faulty or incompatible equipment. Although several telecommunications firms objected to these tariffs, the FCC allowed them to take effect pending the outcome of a study it had commissioned by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). The Commission noted, however, that in taking this approach it was "not giving any specific approval to the revised tariffs."In re A.T.&T.
