• FCC Proposes Rules To Block Illegal Text Messages And Close The "Lead G

    From Bill Horne@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 14 23:02:36 2023
    On February 23, 2023, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
    issued a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) seeking public
    comment on proposed rules targeting unlawful text messages. If the
    proposed rules are adopted, they will comprise the FCC's "first action
    to protect consumers from unwanted and illegal texts."

    If adopted, the proposed rules, together with earlier proposed rules
    that have already undergone a comment and reply period, would extend
    the existing Do-Not-Call Registry to cover text messages, and would
    require wireless service providers to:

    * Block text messages from numbers on a "Do Not Originate" list;

    * Maintain a single point of contact for texters to report erroneously
    blocked texts; and

    * Investigate and potentially block texts from a sender once on notice
    from the FCC that the sender is transmitting suspected illegal
    texts.
