I asked the WH if it plans to make federal funding available to carriers that might have to rip out “bad” telecom gear under this EO. Senior admin officials declined to say, but also said they’ll be looking for businesses’ feedback as they write the rules over the next 150 days. — PolitiTweet.org

Pallone presses Pai to say if he’ll require carriers, by the end of the year, to commit to SHAKEN/STIR call authentication standards if they don’t do it themselves. Pai says he will take action (exactly what that means seems unclear though). — PolitiTweet.org

@geoffmanne @ProfWrightGMU @kristianstout If Amex made it harder for plaintiffs to win, Apple seems to make it a little easier, if only for cases that already stood a good chance under Amex. But Apple does little for everyone else, and nothing for cases that would’ve succeeded pre-Amex but not post-Amex. Is that right? — PolitiTweet.org

@ProfWrightGMU @geoffmanne @kristianstout Smart and sensible to link this to Amex but I have questions about this part. What good does it do for prospective plaintiffs, knowing more of them will have standing, when they know the likelihood of winning has diminished? https://t.co/MgldsAzGz3 — PolitiTweet.org

On robocalls: Walden says in meetings with telecom execs, carriers have told him “they’re willing to lean in full force. But they also said, ‘Look, when we do that, we’re probably going to catch a call that isn’t a robocall." — PolitiTweet.org

But @AjitPaiFCC did say that he’s ready to take further action, possibly requiring carriers to offer automatic enrollment in robocall blocking, if they don’t move quickly enough themselves. — PolitiTweet.org

The FCC declined to answer my question about whether it would consider forcing companies to do automatic robocall blocking for free, if we later discover consumers are being charged for it. — PolitiTweet.org

Will this service cost you? It’s not clear. The FCC says it doesn’t expect consumers to have to pay, because phone companies will save money by not having to carry as many robocalls or deal with as many customer complaints. But it’s not mandating that these services be free. — PolitiTweet.org

You can currently sign up for some of these technologies now, depending on your provider. But the FCC said not enough people were choosing to opt in, so they’re trying to make it clearer to companies that automatic enrollment is okay. — PolitiTweet.org

The FCC has announced a proposal aimed at limiting the scourge of unwanted robocalls. The measure would basically give carriers a green light to block robocalls automatically and to opt you into that service by default. — PolitiTweet.org

To be clear, this ruling isn’t about whether Apple is *actually* a monopolist charging monopoly prices. It’s just about whether iPhone owners can sue in court claiming that it is. — PolitiTweet.org
