   A company that allegedly facilitated billions of spam calls is being   
   sued by nearly every attorney general in the country for allegedly   
   violating consumer protection and telemarketing laws, according to a   
   complaint filed Tuesday.   
      
   Avid Telecom, a Voice over Internet Protocol provider, facilitated   
   more than 7.5 billion calls to numbers on the National Do Not Call   
   Registry, according to a complaint filed by AGs from 48 states plus   
   the District of Columbia. The complaint alleged Avid facilitated more   
   than 24.5 billion calls between December 2018 and January 2023, and   
   more than 90% of those calls lasted less than 15 seconds, indicating   
   they were likely robocalls.
