| 46 LABS, LLCsource ↗ filed by CLIFTON HEIGHTS, PA 19018 · Judge Chad Francis Kenney Sr. · No. 2:26-cv-05805 · 47:227 Restrictions of Use of Telephone Equipment · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $28M–$76M ▾46 Labs is a carrier-level telecom platform, not a direct consumer-facing caller, making liability theory closer to League of Women Voters v. Kramer (carrier facilitating robocalls survived MTD) than typical direct-caller TCPA suits like Hulce or Howard, which were dismissed on technical initiation/solicitation grounds. Comparable settlements $28M–$76M median $36.20M · n=10 Caribbean Cruise L $76M · Dish Network $61M · US Coachways $49.90M Per member (realized): ~$20 median · $10–$500 (n=4) Comparable verdict: Dish Network, L.L.C. $61M · ccAdvertising $32.42M Key precedent: League of Women Voters v. Kramer/Lingo Telecom (D.N.H.) — TCPA claim against a carrier for facilitating robocalls survived MTD, most analogous to 46 Labs' infrastructure role. Main risk: Courts may follow Howard/Perrong's narrow reading of 'initiation' under TCPA, finding a backend carrier did not itself 'make' the calls/texts. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $200K–$15M Highly speculative given B2B infrastructure defendant, unclear direct-consumer nexus, and no prior case history for this specific entity. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Robocalls & Texts (TCPA) | E.D.
