FCC Court finds texting system from AT&T is not an autodialer based on plain language of Telephone Consumer Protection Act, TCPAWorld reports. A summary judgment case in the Northern District of Illinois Gadelhak v. AT&T Servs., No. 17-cv-01559 (March 29, 2019) shows "AT&T's texting system did not qualify as an ATDS because the system did not "store" telephone numbers "using a random or sequential number generator" as the numbers were dialed from a predetermined list," writes Petrina A.

There will be coverage of the highlights in next week's edition of Wireless Watch, but one development caught our eye even before the event started on Wednesday. This was a demonstration of network slicing, harnessing the capabilities of the open source ONAP (Open Network Automation Protocol) software, which handles the management and orchestration (MANO) of all the components in a virtualized network. https://rethinkresearch.biz/articles/ericsson-and-att-give-network-slicing-an-open-source-boost/ -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Tue, 09 Apr 2019
