There are less expensive alternaties, and although they don't have surge-protection for Ethernet cables or cable TV coaxial cable, they do fine for everything I've ever needed one for. YMMV. Here's a basic four-foot strip with surge-protection, and plenty of room for wall warts: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1395082-REG/a_neutronics_ani_1248sur_12_outlet_48_metal_rack.html -- (Please remove QRM to use the "From" address. If you hit "reply," you'll need to modify the "To" address in an obvious way.)

With the recent increase in litigation regarding alleged violations of the TCPA, many issues relating to the interpretation of the statute have been presented to the FCC by impacted parties. These petitions can be primary jurisdiction referrals or be presented directly by a litigant in a TCPA action. https://www.mondaq.com/article/news/1249526?q=1803232&n=607&tp=7&tlk=8&lk=42

Gordon and Mary Gardner Last week, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a press release, announcing a $100 million settlement with Vonage, an internet-based telephone service company, for alleged violations of the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act (ROSCA). The action underscores the FTC's continued focus on "dark patterns" and illustrates the agency's efforts to require companies to go beyond the plain requirements of ROSCA in enforcement settlements. https://www.mondaq.com/article/news/1249448?q=1803232&n=607&tp=7&tlk=11&lk=45

Didn't like it. When I saw these, I grabbed one with a passion. Will stay with what I've got. Regards, Fred
