At its July Open Commission meeting, the Federal Communications
Commission's (FCC or Commission) voted to approve a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (NAL) against Thomas Dorsher, ChariTel Inc,
OnTel Inc, and ScammerBlaster Inc (collectively the "Dorsher
Entities") for allegedly engaging in a toll-free robocall traffic
pumping scheme, in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act
(TCPA), that used revenue generated from the scheme to fund dangerous
telephony denial of service (TDoS) attacks. The $116 million proposed
fine represents the FCC's first TCPA enforcement action targeting
entities engaged in a toll-free traffic-pumping scheme, signaling the
agency's willingness to take action against unlawful robocalls made to businesses.
