CBA Responds to FCC in TCPA Lawsuit

CBA and co-petitioners filed a joint Reply Brief on Tuesday, February 16, 2016, in the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) litigation being considered by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.  In the Reply Brief, Petitioners countered arguments raised in the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) Response Brief and reiterated: 1. Dialing equipment must have the present ability to store or produce numbers to be considered an automatic telephone dialing system; 2. The FCC misinterpreted “called party” for purposes of reassigned phone numbers; and 3. The FCC’s treatment of revocation of consent is unlawful.  Oral arguments are expected to begin in spring of 2016.
