We are pleased to present our latest Monthly TCPA Digest, providing
insights and news related to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act
(TCPA). In this issue's Regulatory Update, we cover a first-of-its-kind
FCC Enforcement Bureau Order directing all U.S.-based voice service
providers to take immediate steps to mitigate suspected illegal robocall traffic from a group of robocallers. The Order calls for the providers
to block traffic or terminate their business relationship with the
robocallers -- and to block all traffic from a number of originating
providers that failed to respond to a previous FCC warning calling for
them to stop carrying the robocallers' traffic. Additionally, we report
on legislation introduced in Congress to expand the scope of the TCPA.
The Robotext Scam Prevention Act would amend the TCPA to cover text
messages and expand the statutory definition of an automatic telephone
dialing system (ATDS) to include a wider variety of devices used to automatically dial or text phone numbers. It would also provide a safe
harbor enabling providers to use an ATDS to call or text a consenting
person at a new number, as long as the caller uses the Commission's
Reassigned Number Database.
