TCPA & Consumer Calling Digest - July 2018
We are pleased to present our July edition of the Monthly TCPA Digest, providing insights and news related to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
This issue includes an update on activity at the FCC, specifically the agency’s progress in evaluating comments received in several ongoing TCPA proceedings. In addition, in our Class Action Update, we look at the current understanding of what constitutes an ATDS and why, in the wake of ACA International, it may be more difficult for plaintiffs to demonstrate that the companies they are suing used ATDS devices.
