The Supreme Court rejected Verizon's petition for a $47 million refund after the carrier paid part of a $196 million total fine levied on Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile for selling real-time location data to aggregators. The 8-1 ruling upheld the FCC's administrative penalty process against Seventh Amendment challenges. AT&T and T-Mobile continue related litigation.
