Letter to FCC re: Notice of Ex Parte Presentation, Advanced Methods to Target and Eliminate Unlawful Robocalls EB Docket No. 17-59
This ex parte Notice is filed on behalf of several national organizations representing the interests of consumers, including the National Consumer Law Center, Consumer Action, Consumer Federation of America, Electronic Privacy Information Center, and the National Association of Consumer Advocates. Our goal in this letter is to provide the consumer perspective on the issues raised by the Petition for Reconsideration filed by USTelecom requesting that the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) reconsider the requirement that providers that block calls provide notice of the blocking by sending certain codes to the callers.
