Sprint Corporation, nka Sprint v. Federal Communications Commission

Sprint asks the Supreme Court to review FCC forfeiture orders concerning customer proprietary network information, including mobile-device location information. The petition also asks whether courts, rather than the FCC, should decide how many continuing violations result from one failure to act.

The case is pending, and oral argument has not been scheduled. Sprint argues that the lower-court decision should be reconsidered in light of AT&T and the government's concessions in that case.

The case could affect when wireless companies face FCC financial penalties for handling customer information. For example, it could shape whether information about a phone's location is protected under this part of the Communications Act.

The next step is a scheduling move or a decision on certiorari (whether the Court will hear the case). No decision window is available yet.

The case concerns FCC penalties, the legal force of FCC orders, and whether mobile-device location information is protected customer information.

Wireless providers could face different enforcement risks. Their customers could be affected by how federal law treats information about a mobile device's location.

The Court may schedule oral argument or decide whether to grant certiorari, meaning whether it will hear the case.
