The Federal Trade Commission is suing Dish Network, alleging the satellite TV provider called millions of consumers after they asked telemarketers not to call them again.
The complaint, filed Aug. 22 in the U.S. District Court for the central district of Illinois in Springfield, alleges that since September 2007, Dish Network violated the FTC's telemarketing sales rule when it called millions of people who stated they didn't want to get calls from the company. The FTC is seeking a permanent injunction to prevent further violations, monetary civil penalties and legal expenses.
