# Podcast - August 2018 Enforcement Update: FCC Reaches Settlement with AT&T

 August 10, 2018

 

 

 

 

 

 

The FCC recently reached a $5.25 million settlement with AT&T to resolve investigations into two 911 service outages that resulted in thousands of failed emergency calls. This edition of Full Spectrum’s series on FCC enforcement discusses the unexpected settlement and its implications on carrier network practices and the FCC’s enforcement priorities. We cover LED sign enforcement, which has recently become an area of focus for the Pai FCC as the signs interfere with communications services. Finally, we cover a rare amateur radio settlement involving both the FCC and the Department of Justice.
