We are pleased to present our latest Telephone and Texting Compliance
News, providing insights and news related to the Telephone Consumer
Protection Act (TCPA). In this issue's Regulatory Update, we discuss
an FCC Enforcement Bureau Public Notice to all U.S.-based voice
service providers regarding Urth Access, LLC, an originator of student-loan-related robocalls. The so-called K4 Notice informed
service providers that they may block voice calls or cease accepting
traffic from Urth without liability and that they could face
enforcement action for continuing to accept or facilitate traffic from
Urth. This enforcement action could include removal from the Robocall Mitigation Database, which would bar intermediate and terminating
providers from accepting traffic from the removed voice services
providers. The Enforcement Bureau also issued a cease-and-desist
letter directing Urth to stop transmitting illegal traffic and take
steps to prevent its network from being a source of illegal
robocalls. The agency also adopted a Notice of Inquiry seeking
information on the non-IP technology in the nation's phone networks.
