9th Circuit to Hear Oral Argument in FTC, AT&T Mobility Case Sept. 19

Oral argument in FTC's fight against AT&T Mobility at the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is scheduled for Sept. 19 at 1 p.m. in San Francisco, the court said. The 9th Circuit agreed in May to an en banc review after the commission appealed a panel ruling that jettisoned its case against AT&T, alleged to have inadequately informed customers of its data-throttling program (see 1705090068). The ruling has larger implications regarding FTC authority to oversee ISP privacy (see 1608290032).
