The National Consumer Law Center (NCLC) and the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), along with sixteen other national and state consumer and privacy groups representing a broad swath of individual telephone subscribers across the United States, urge the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to stand firm against requests to force cell phone carriers to allow unwanted mass text messages.
In reply comments filed with the FCC, the groups emphasize the urgent need to protect telephone subscribers from unwanted and illegal text messages.
