According to the complaint filed against Dish, the company's own
internal Do Not Call list was violated many times, with more than a
million people on it being called anyway. Nearly 50 million abandoned calls were also claimed in the complaint,
which is when someone is not connected with a representative within a
couple seconds of a call being answered.
Finally, Dish was found liable
for making calls to numbers in the Do Not Call Registry. California, Ohio, North Carolina, and Illinois were all state
co-plaintiffs on the complaint. Though the case has been on-going for
several years, it still isn't over, and a trial is currently scheduled
to take place this upcoming July.
