Message-ID: <20230607194835.GA486210@telecomdigest.us> Date: 7 Jun 2023 15:48:35 -0400 From: "The Telecom Digest" <digest-replies@telecom-digest.org> Subject: Telephone And Texting Compliance News — May 2023 by Russell H. Fox , Jonathan P. Garvin , Joshua Briones , Esteban Morales and Adam B. Korn We are pleased to present our latest edition of Telephone and Texting Compliance News, providing insights and news related to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). In this issue's Regulatory Update, we report on recent steps taken by the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) to close some of the remaining gaps in its robocalling rules. At its May Open Meeting, the Commission adopted a Seventh Report and Order that requires all voice service providers to fully respond to all traceback requests within 24 hours. The Order also extends the requirement that a provider "know" the upstream provider from which it directly receives call traffic and mandates that originating providers block suspected illegal traffic when notified of such activity by the Commission. The Commission also initiated a proposed rulemaking seeking input on other potential call blocking requirements. In addition, the Commission's Enforcement Bureau issued a first-of-its-kind action against a gateway provider requiring voice service providers immediately downstream from One Eye LLC to block and cease accepting traffic from One Eye by June 12, 2023. https://www.mondaq.com/article/news/1325118?q=1803232&n=810&tp=2&tlk=12&lk=45

While they have their own engineering teams who are always at work, there is always too much work and not enough time. That’s where they turn to outside companies like Pearce Services, American Tower and Crown Castle to help them on this enormous and growing task. In fact, there are many third-party companies who work with wireless carriers to update, maintain and repair cell sites and network segments. There are also companies that build cell sites all around the country, helping carriers better reach their customers. https://www.rcrwireless.com/20230609/carriers/kagan-how-verizon-t-mobile-att-maintain-their-5g-wireless-networks
