FCC Puts End to Spammers

The FCC has announced a new proposal to stop the plague of unsolicited robocalls, which the commission said is it biggest source of complaints. The new efforts also extends to text messages on mobile phones. The proposal from FCC Commissioner Tom Wheeler, which began circulating on Wednesday, would give people new ways to stop robocalls, including allowing carriers to offer new technology to block the calls. The FCC would also define an autodialer as "any technology with the capacity to dial random or sequential numbers" in an effort to limit companies that get around existing laws with new technology. The new rules, which have already been seen by the four other FCC commissioners, will be voted on at the FCC's upcoming meeting on June 18, 2015.
