Klein On August 22, 2019, it was announced that 51 state attorneys general and 12 telecommunications service providers (AT&T, Bandwidth, CenturyLink, Charter, Comcast, Consolidated, Frontier, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, Verizon and Windstream) have collaborated to implement certain anti-robocalling principles intended to protect consumers from the growing scourge of illegal robocalls. In announcing this initiative, the state attorneys general highlighted the fact that robocalls are generally their number one source of consumer complaints. Working in partnership with the attorneys general, the telecommunications service providers have agreed to adopt eight anti-robocalling principles aimed at the prevention and enforcement of illegal calls. http://www.mondaq.com/article.asp?articleid=840744&email_access=on -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190829235628.GA28092@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2019 23:56:28 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Canada: Get Ready To Disclose Your Tweets By R. Oliver Branch, James Meadow and Azam Rajan Do you Tweet, IG, or PIN? If so, this blog is for you since recently implemented policies at US Consulates and ports-of-entry impact the disclosure of social media handles and deal with the consequences for nondisclosure. Recently, our clients have been encountering the implementation of a social media disclosure policy at US ports-of-entry that began in 2016 but has become more consistently implemented over the past few months. In late 2016, US Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") began requiring foreign visitors to disclose their social media handles for common platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. CBP also frequently requests mobile passwords so that CBP Officers may go through phones of those requesting admission to the US at ports-of-entry. http://www.mondaq.com/article.asp?articleid=840542&email_access=on -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190827215004.GA969@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2019 21:50:04 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Interim Rule Bans Use Of Huawei, ZTE And Other Chinese Companies Effective Immediately by Ronald D.
