No not the Tax Day deadline, the NPRM Comment Deadline!

Happy Monday TCPAWorld! May is gearing up to be a busy month so dropping in to remind folks that the NPRM Comment deadline is May 8!  

As the Czar says “This is not a drill. Fight to save your industry folks.” 

WHAT IS GOING ON? Really important issues here!  

• Whether to require terminating mobile wireless providers to block text messages when notified by the Commission that they are likely scams? 

• Text message authentication? 

• Extending Do-Not-Call protections to marketing text messages? 

• Banning the practice of obtaining a single consumer consent as justification for calls and texts from multiple sellers and potential fraudsters? 

WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?  

Tell them how these changes affect you and your business. The Commission seeks comments.
