This seems incorrect. "Predictive dialing" sounds like it should meet the definition of a sequential dialer.
This ruling seems a little odd but also I understand why the court ruled the way it did, even if the grounds seem like an excessively tortured reading of the statute. (Like, there was probably an easier way to get this ruling.)
- nulbyte 6y agoPredictive dialing refers to a system capable of placing calls that are likely to be answered by the called party at a time when the calling party is available. Under this ruling, such a system may or may not be an ATDS; the predictive capability is irrelevant. The key distinction is not whether the system can dial numbers from a list randomly or sequentially, but whether it can generate numbers randomly or sequentially (as opposed to being provided by another party).
