Fox , Scott Thompson , Angela Y. Kung , Daniel P. Reing and Christen B'anca Glenn The next-generation of wireless technologies - known as 5G - is here. Not only is it expected to offer network speeds that are up to 100 times faster than 4G LTE and reduce latency to nearly zero, it will allow networks to handle 100 times the number of connected devices, revolutionizing business and consumer connectivity and enabling the "Internet of Things." Leading policymakers - federal regulators and legislators - are making it a top priority to ensure that the wireless industry has the tools it needs to maintain U.S. leadership in commercial 5G deployments. https://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/telecoms-mobile-cable-communications/1013376/what39s-new-in-5g--december-2020?email_access=on ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20201211040057.4361E8A8@telecom2018.csail.mit.edu> Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2020 04:00:57 +0000 (UTC) From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: Telehealth And The Impact Of COVID-19 By Chris DeMeo To paraphrase Shakespeare, some are born to use telehealth, some learn to use telehealth, and some have telehealth thrust upon them.1 The COVID-19 pandemic has certainly thrust telehealth onto all who had been reluctant to embrace it. The rapid and simultaneous expansion of coverage, available modalities, acceptance by providers, and use by patients will be one of COVID-19's lasting impacts on how health care is delivered. Seven months since the declaration of a public health emergency (PHE), several trends have developed that expose the risks associated with telehealth expansion and highlight how telehealth can improve health care delivery. https://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/healthcare/1014270/telehealth-and-the-impact-of-covid-19?email_access=on ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20201211032551.40DD48A8@telecom2018.csail.mit.edu> Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2020 03:25:51 +0000 (UTC) From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: FCC Asked To Clarify Scope Of TCPA Opt-Out Requests by David O. Klein The Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") is in the process of evaluating whether to issue a declaratory ruling which would provide clarification on if and how companies are permitted to respond to consumer TCPA opt-out requests. Such guidance offers the promise of providing much needed certainty to businesses trying to more efficiently manage relationships with their customers. https://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/advertising-marketing-branding/1014194/fcc-asked-to-clarify-scope-of-tcpa-opt-out-requests?email_access=on ------------------------------ Message-ID: <CAH8yC8=8_Qc-MTvuiLrwW0imOy_s=GX7VP5ZYOGgdvq=PPUerw@mail.gmail.com> Date: 11 Dec 2020 00:09:40 -0500 From: "Jeffrey Walton" <noloader@gmail.com> Subject: Supreme Court Hears Oral Argument In Highly Anticipated Case Addressing The Reach Of The Telephone Consumer Protection Act Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument in Facebook v. Duguid--a significant case potentially limiting the reach of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"). Facebook will resolve a circuit split over what qualifies as an automatic telephone dialing system ("ATDS") under the TCPA. The TCPA makes it unlawful to call a wireless phone using an ATDS, unless the called party has consented to receive such calls. The statute defines an ATDS as "equipment which has the capacity--(A) to store or produce telephone numbers to be called, using a random or sequential number generator; and (B) to dial such numbers." 47 U.S.C. § 227(a)(1). The question presented in Facebook is whether this statutory definition requires that the equipment use a random or sequential number generator to both "store" and "produce" telephone numbers. https://www.natlawreview.com/article/supreme-court-hears-oral-argument-highly-anticipated-case-addressing-reach-telephone ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Sat, 12 Dec 2020
