Subject: FCC's April Open Meeting Focuses On Emergency Services And
Wireless Microphones
by Joshua Guyan , Steven A. Augustino and Belen Crisp
The FCC Open Meeting, scheduled for April 22, 2021 includes several
items of interest. During the April meeting, the third meeting led by
Acting Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, the FCC will consider seven
agenda items plus an enforcement order. The items include two
emergency service items - a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
("FNPRM") to examine expanding the National Suicide Prevention
Lifeline to support text messaging to 988 - and a Third Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking to promote public safety by ensuring that 911 call
centers and consumers are notified of disruptions to 911 service in a
timely manner. The FCC will also consider a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking to permit licensed wireless microphone users to operate a
new wireless microphone technology called Wireless Multi-Channel Audio
System ("WMAS") technology on frequencies already available for Part
74 licensed wireless microphone operations in certain bands. Finally,
the Commission will consider an enforcement item at its meeting, but,
as is the custom with enforcement actions, the subject of the
enforcement and the nature of the action is not disclosed prior to the
vote on the item.

Subject: The Critical Role That The TCPA Plays In Outbound
Telemarketing
by David O. Klein
If you're running any sort of outbound telemarketing campaign - phone
calls, voicemail drops, or text messaging - you need to understand the
Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and its enabling regulations.
Call center operators are not the only businesses that employ outbound
telemarketing to reach out to consumers. Using the phone is often an
essential tool for most businesses, especially as of the COVID-19
lockdown of last year. Getting the consumer on a phone call to respond
to an inquiry or provide information for a product or service is not
only helpful but, in some cases, a must. Therefore, understanding how
to appropriately conduct telemarketing operations is crucial in our
current business and social environment.
