A few years ago, we noted how the FTC had found Dish Networks guilty of violating the federal Do Not Call registry repeatedly. According to the original FTC notice, Dish ignored consumer opt out preferences around 55 million times via an auto-mated robo call system. Initially, it looked like Dish would be looking at $24 million in fines from the DOJ and four states for the violations, after shelling out $5.99 million to 46 states for the offense back in 2009.
Now, a Judge has declared that Dish will have to pay significantly more -- as in $280 million.
Good, fuck these spam faggots.
