We are pleased to present our latest Monthly TCPA Digest, providing
insights and news related to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act
(TCPA). In our Regulatory Update, we look at whether ringless
voicemail ("RVM") technology constitutes a "call" under current TCPA
and FCC rules following the latest petition filed by Perdue for
Senate, Inc. earlier this month. We also cover the status of the FCC's
Robocall Mitigation Database now that the FCC has, as of July 1, 2021, implemented the STIR/SHAKEN caller ID authentication standards that it announced in a March 2020 Report and Order. In addition, we report on
the strong support shown for the USTelecom Industry Traceback Group
after ZipDX submitted a letter of intent to be designated as the
registered traceback consortium. Finally, we continue our discussion
on the FCC's online portal for submitting information on suspected
robocalling and spoofing campaigns. In addition to adopting rules for
the newly established reporting system, the Consumer and Government
Affairs Bureau (CGB) issued its Second Robocall Blocking Report,
noting improvements in quality and quantity of call blocking and
labelling services.
