About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of a Supreme Court ruling on FCC forfeiture orders against AT&T and Verizon regarding customer location information.

The Supreme Court recently ruled on a case involving forfeiture orders assessed against AT&T and Verizon for failing to safeguard customer location information. The FCC forfeiture orders totaled over $100 million in combined penalties. In this 10-minute episode of Staying Connected, Tony Mangino is joined by LB3 partner Steve Rosen , to address a question that's been hanging over FCC enforcement proceedings for years. In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision in FCC v. Jarkesy , are the FCC's forfeiture orders consistent with the Seventh Amendment—can the Commission order you to pay millions of dollars without ever giving you a jury trial?
