Supreme Court Rejects Verizon Bid to Get $46.9M FCC Fine Refunded in Location Data Case
The Supreme Court denied Verizon’s request for rehearing of its fight over a $46.9 million FCC penalty tied to a former customer location data program. The court said an FCC penalty order does not automatically require payment and that if a company refuses, the government must sue in federal court. Verizon had paid under protest and sought a refund; the Second Circuit judgment stands.
