The FTC has levied a fine 10 times greater than any other penalties related to the do-not-call law on DirecTV for charges that the satellite TV provider did not sufficiently oversee the contractors it used to sell its services, AdAge reports. The fine, at $5.4 million, could have been even larger, according to the FTC, based on the number of complaints it received about DirecTV.
