  • Advancing the Transition to Next Generation 911

    The Commission considered a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing rules to strengthen the ability of consumers to decide which robocalls and robotexts they wish to receive by exercising their right to grant and revoke consent to callers. The item also proposes to codify the Commission’s past guidance on prior express consent to make these requirements more apparent to callers and consumers. (CG Docket No. 02-278)
