EIA and Former Commissioner O'Rielly Urge FCC Action Amid TCPA Quiet-Hours Litigation Surge

Your FCC Update for 06/12/2025 Summarizing 1 Filing from 1 Hot Proceeding

Dear Friends of The Docket Digest,

Big kudos to the Ecommerce Innovation Alliance (EIA)—especially David Carter and former FCC Commissioner Michael O'Rielly—for submitting one of the most data-rich filings we've seen yet.

Their latest push for FCC action on TCPA quiet-hours compliance delivers hard evidence of a troubling trend: serial litigation.

EIA’s detailed breakdown shows over 230 lawsuits filed since late 2024, overwhelmingly from one South Florida firm aggressively recruiting plaintiffs online. This clarity and depth of data vividly illustrate how litigation abuses harm businesses, especially smaller ecommerce firms.

EIA makes a persuasive case for FCC clarification on quiet-hours rules and adopting an area-code-based safe harbor to resolve compliance confusion.

Stay informed,
