Failed attempts to reach customer support have only increased frustrations. By Rich Nye CUMBERLAND, Indiana — UPDATE: Urmi Patel told 13News reporter Rich Nye that AT&T’s internet service was restored in her Cumberland neighborhood Wednesday morning after a six-day outage. The loss of home internet service is just an inconvenience for some. For those who work from home, it can mean lost wages. 13News discovered many AT&T customers around central Indiana lost their internet service during last week’s winter storm, and it’s still not restored. https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/att-customers-frustrated-by-extended-internet-outage-following-winter-storm-central-indiana/531-43cf09fc-e633-47e9-9bac-3bc240b76b4a -- (Please remove QRM for direct replies) |

Brian Smith says he raised concerns about certain addresses being flagged as dangerous for first responders based on potentially erroneous information about residents — and did so before the practice caused medics to wait for a police escort and needlessly delay treating heart attack victim William Yurek. https://www.ems1.com/communications-dispatch/articles/former-seattle-911-manager-says-he-warned-city-about-deadly-dispatch-problem-xSmbdLIHLOPPuLnn/ -- (Please remove QRM for direct replies) |

Korn On the heels of Borden v. E-Financial, LLC, 2022 WL 16955661 (9th Cir. Nov. 17, 2022), which we wrote about last month, the Ninth and Eleventh Circuits have continued to keep TCPA lawyers on their toes. Recently the Eleventh Circuit, in a per curiam opinion, halted an appeal on the basis of standing to bring automatic telephone dialing system (ATDS) claims. Evans v. Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, 2022 WL 17259718 (11th Cir. Nov. 29, 2022). In total, sixteen plaintiffs brought TCPA claims, but the complaint only alleged that eight of the plaintiffs received 27 to 877 calls. For the other eight plaintiffs, the exact number of calls was not specified. The Eleventh Circuit noted, "[f]or any of these plaintiffs, the 'exact number of calls they received could be zero, one, or more than one. Each of these scenarios would potentially present a different resolution to the standing issue." Id. at *1. The Court added that while more "than one call is a concrete injury that confers standing," current case law does not address "whether a single call is sufficient to confer standing."
