                       BRIEFS SCHEDULED TO BE FILED 
  
 December 1, 2021  Kenneth Moser v. FCC, No. 21-70099 (9th Cir.).  Petitioner challenges the 
                   Commission’s Forfeiture Order, Kenneth Moser dba Marketing Support 
                   Systems, 35 FCC Rcd 13415 (2020), in which the Commission fined him 
                   for unlawfully “spoofing” robocalls—i.e., sending pre-recorded calls that 
                   use manipulated or altered caller identification information to display 
                   something other than the originating telephone number.   
  
 December 22, 2021 Nat’l Ass’n of Broad. v. FCC, No. 21-1171 (D.C. Cir.).  Challenge to 
                   broadcaster disclosure requirements for programming leased by foreign 
                   government entities and agents.   
  
  
                ORAL ARGUMENTS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD 
  
 November 1, 2021  Inteliquent, Inc. v. FCC, No. 20-1471 (D.C. Cir.).  Challenge to 8YY 
                   Access Charge Reform, 35 FCC Rcd 11594 (2020), in which the 
                   Commission adopted a nationwide uniform tandem-switching and 
                   transport rate cap of $0.001 per minute for originating toll-free traffic.   
  
 December 3, 2021  Viasat, Inc. v. FCC, No. 21-1123 (D.C. Cir.).  Challenge to the 
                   Commission’s decision to modify licenses held by SpaceX to deploy a 
                   constellation of low-earth-orbit satellites to provide broadband service, 
                  and to the Commission’s conclusion that such satellite service would not 
                  cause harmful interference to existing direct broadcast satellite operations.   
 
December 7, 2021  Children’s Health Def. v. FCC, No. 21-1075 (D.C. Cir.).  Challenge to the 
                   FCC’s January 2021 order revising the over-the-air reception device 

(OTARD) rule, which generally prohibits restrictions on the ability of 
antenna users to install or use over-the-air reception devices.  The 
petitioners contend that the FCC’s revisions to the rule will increase 
antenna deployment and, by extension, harmful exposure to 
radiofrequency energy.
