As we get near Halloween, how about a quick tale of a phantom lurking in our halls? Amidst all of the hubbub surrounding the big Marks opinion a couple weeks back–including the FCC’s decision to re-open the comment period on its pending Public Notice on the TCPA— it is easy […]
Supplemental Public Notice on TCPA Scope Post Marks Well the Marks case just got even bigger somehow.
