This is confusing. Doesn't MMS run over mobile data? I wasn't aware
that it's a separate service from one's mobile phone data plan.

Subject: AT&T And SEC Settle Regulation FD Enforcement Action After
SDNY Denies Summary Judgment To Either Side
by Abbe L. Dienstag, Alan Friedman, Dani James, Darren LaVerne,
Todd E. Lenson, Michael Martinez, Thomas E. Molner, Gary P Naftalis,
Jordan M. Rosenbaum, Steven Sparling, Jenna Burch-Smith, and
Kathleen Telfer
On Dec. 5, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that
AT&T has agreed to a $6.25 million penalty, resolving charges brought
against it under the securities rule known as Regulation Fair
Disclosure (Regulation FD), the largest Regulation FD penalty exacted
to date. Three midlevel executives from the company’s Investor
Relations department will also each pay $25,000 to settle charges that
they “aided and abetted” AT&T’s violations. As part of the settlement,
the company and the executives neither admit nor deny the
allegations. The case is also notable for producing one of the only
judicial decisions to apply Regulation FD in adversarial litigation
since its publication over 20 years ago. Judge Paul Engelmayer’s
September opinion denying cross-motions for summary judgment is likely
to become the “textbook case” on this scarcely litigated regulation.

Subject: FCC Confirms "Ringless Voicemails" Are Subject To The TCPA
by Angelica Rankins
On November 21, 2022, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
released an order concerning "ringless voicemails" and the Telephone
Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). In this ruling, the FCC confirmed that
the delivery of "ringless voicemails" to wireless phones constitute a
“call made using an artificial or prerecorded voice” such that it
requires consumer consent pursuant to TCPA § 227(b)(1)(A)(iii).
Section 227(b) of the TCPA prohibits making calls to a cellphone
“(other than a call made for emergency purposes or made with the prior
express consent of the called party) using any automatic telephone
dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice.”

Subject: Will Cable Be the Biggest Winner in Wireless in 2023?
By Adam Levy
After their best year yet, is cable ready to cut into the big three's
growth?
Comcast (CMCSA -1.09%) and Charter's (CHTR -0.14%) wireless businesses
got a lot bigger in 2022, and investors across the industry are
wondering what 2023 may bring.
The cable giants added a combined 2.8 million wireless subscribers over
the last 12 months. Both companies just reported their biggest quarters
ever, and they're investing to grow their subscriber base profits by
building out their own 5G networks.
