Market Recap 3-26-15
Big day for Neustar (NSR) the company which has been under pressure since August 2013 when it hit $55.71, has been one of the most shorted tech stocks around.
Today the company officially lost the number portability contract that Bloomberg reported made them over $3 billion since 1997.
The Federal Communications Commission voted 5-0 to reassign a five-year contract to manage more than 500 million phone numbers, a job that includes helping consumers retain their numbers when switching carriers.
“There was simply no contest” on price proposals between the companies, said FCC Commissioner Michael O’Rielly, a Republican. He said telephone companies that pay fees for numbers switching will benefit as will consumers.
