Subject: [telecom] Marek's Take: Verizon shouldn't underestimate
Comcast's 5G moves
By Sue Marek
Verizon probably wasn't caught off guard by Comcast's announcement
that it was evolving its mobile virtual network operator (MVNO)
strategy to include its own 5G network infrastructure, by deploying
Samsungs 5G radios in its Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) and
600 MHz spectrum holdings. But that doesnt mean the news wont
influence Verizon and other traditional wireless operators.

Subject: [telecom] 911 Network Reliability Deadline Approaching
By Wesley K. Wright and Liam Fulling
Earlier this month, the FCC announced that its 2022 911 Reliability
Certification System is now open for Covered 911 Service Providers to
file annual reliability certifications. The filings are due on October
17, 2022. Failure to submit the certification may result in FCC
enforcement action.
Background
In 2013, the FCC adopted rules aimed at improving the reliability and
redundancy of the nation's 911 network. Those rules require Covered 911
Service Providers ("C9SP") to take steps that promote reliable 911
service with respect to three network elements: circuit auditing,
central-office backup power, and diverse network monitoring. The
Commission identified these three network elements as vulnerabilities
following a derecho storm in 2012 that significantly impacted 911
service along the eastern seaboard.

Subject: [telecom] FTSA Dismissal Decisions Update: One Win, One New Loss
by Daniel S. Blynn
Last week, courts issued two new Florida Telephone Solicitation Act
(FTSA) decisions. We've been covering the sprawl of FTSA cases filed
since the statute was amended to allow for a private cause of action in
July 2021. Both of last week's decisions were on motions to dismiss.
First, on September 13, 2022, the Middle District of Florida gave FTSA
defendants their first win in Davis v. Coast Dental Services, LLC.
There, the plaintiff, using a form complaint that her attorneys often
use in other FTSA cases, alleged that the defendant used a "computer
software system that automatically selected and dialed" her telephone
and sent a single marketing message to her (from a ten-digit phone
number) about its dental services without her prior express written consent.
