LV firm sues over loss of business

Friday, July 13, 2001 | 11:20 a.m.

Custom Teleconnect Inc. of Las Vegas sued to recover at least $700,000 in damages from a Norcross, Ga.-based telephone directory assistance service provider, alleging it used Custom's proprietary information to steal its business.

Custom sued International Tele-Services Inc. doing business as D.A. For Less Inc. in U.S. District Court, alleging it undercut Custom's business with its customer, Cox Communications Inc. of Atlanta, by allegedly offering Cox directory assistance call services.

Cox, a diversified telecommunications company, provides, in addition to cable television, high-speed Internet access and telephone services in areas including Phoenix, Orange County and San Diego.

The suit said Custom provided proprietary information including names of its clients to D.A. For Less as part of a confidential agreement in which D.A. For Less would provide directory assistance services on a per transaction basis for certain Custom customers.

The defendant could not be reached for comment.
