("Huawei") and its affiliates worldwide, which was effective May 16, 2019. The Entity List designation effectively prohibits the ex- port, reexport, or transfer of hardware, software, and technology subject to the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to Huawei and its affiliates, as explained in our earlier client alert. The temporary general license aims to mitigate the impact of the Entity List designation on the operations of U.S. and foreign telecom- munications providers with Huawei hardware and software, but does not provide broad relief from Entity List prohibitions. The general license is effective from May 20, 2019, to August 19, 2019. http://www.mondaq.com/article.asp?articleid=812714&email_access=on -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190612230557.GA26274@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2019 23:05:57 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: TCPA Text Message Lawsuit By David O.
