Subject: AG Nessel Joins YouMail Partnership to Combat Robocallers
April 27, 2022
LANSING - Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is one of four
attorneys general to take action against illegal robocalls to the next
level by partnering with YouMail, a platform that engages traceback
technology to assist in determining the source of such calls. The
company also offers an app that blocks calls automatically for users.
The Department first leaned on YouMail in 2020 when Nessel, as part of
a bipartisan coalition of 52 attorneys general, called on USTelecom to
continue its collaboration with state attorneys general by bolstering
technological capabilities to improve enforcement against illegal
robocallers.
Most recently, YouMail assisted Nessel in action investigating scam
robocalls pretending to offer AT&T DirecTV services, with a goal of
putting a stop to the illegal robocalls.

Subject: DOD News Release: Hawai'i Office of Homeland Security Hosts
Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Workshop
Posted on Apr 28, 2022
KAPOLEI, Hawai'i - The State of Hawaii Office of Homeland Security
(OHS) was honored to host more than 75 individuals at Tuesday's
Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Workshop, held in
Kapolei. Key leaders from federal law enforcement, U.S. Indo-Pacific
Command, Board of Water Supply, the Hawai'i State Fusion Center
(HSFC), Hawai'i Emergency Management Agency (HIEMA), and the Hawai'i
State Energy Office (HSEO) were in attendance, in addition to private
enterprise representatives from Hawaiian Electric, Hawaiian Airlines,
Hawaiian Telcom, Verizon Wireless, Hawai'i Gas, and AT&T.
The half-day session focused on critical infrastructure
vulnerabilities, security, and incident response, with key
presentations by OHS Administrator Frank Pace, HSFC Director Kevin
Baggs, HSEO Chief Energy Officer Scott Glenn, and OHS Planning and
Operations Branch Chief Jimmie Collins. The workshop was opened by
State Adjutant General, Maj. Gen. Kenneth Hara, with closing remarks
from Governor David Ige.
"The point of today's workshop is not a reaction to either global
events, or even those locally here in Hawai'i," said Pace. "It is the
next step in what has been a yearlong process by the Office of
Homeland Security, along with our many partners, to make Hawai'i more
resilient, better protected, and collectively more responsive in the
face evolving threats against our critical infrastructure."

Keynote at the University of Chicago Stigler Center
Chicago, IL ~ Thursday, April 21, 2022
Antitrust Enforcement: The Road to Recovery
Remarks as Prepared for Delivery
I. Introduction
It is wonderful to be back at the Stigler Center. Five years ago, I
attended the Center's inaugural antitrust and competition
conference. That first conference asked an important question: "Is
There a Concentration Problem in America?" In retrospect, that
particular conference functioned as a critical inflection point in the
conversation regarding corporate concentration and the state of
antitrust enforcement - a conversation that we are still having today,
but against the backdrop of a dramatically different enforcement and
political environment.
I have vivid memories of attending a lunchtime keynote, much like this
one, where Judge Richard Posner quipped with a degree of seriousness
and a bit of humor: "antitrust is dead, isn't it?"[1] It was a
provocative statement, to be sure, but a fair question. Judge Posner
was saying the quiet part out loud. Indeed, the purpose of the
conference was, in many ways, to assess whether antitrust enforcement
still had a pulse and whether it could be nursed back to health.
It turns out that antitrust was not actually dead. If anything, the
patient was on the table for open heart surgery.

Subject: FCC Seeks Letters of Intent to Serve as Traceback
Consortium on Suspected Unlawful Robocalls
Thursday, April 21, 2022
Section 13(d)(1) of the Pallone-Thune Telephone Robocall Abuse
Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence Act (TRACED Act) directed the the
Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) to establish a process for
registering a "single consortium that conducts private-led efforts to
trace back the origin of suspected unlawful robocalls." The FCC is
required to consider new interested consortia on an annual basis.
On April 20, 2022, the FCC's Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) issued a
Public Notice requesting parties interested in serving as the
consortium to submit Letters of Intent (LOI). The current registered
consortium - the USTelecom - The Broadband Association's Industry
Traceback Group (ITG) - need not submit such an LOI.

electronic means to provide written notice, and to obtain an
acknowledgement, of such monitoring upon hiring.
Under this CRL amendment, the notice and acknowledgment requirements
apply to employers that monitor or otherwise intercept telephone
conversations or transmissions, email or internet access or usage by
an employee by any electronic device or system, including by the use
of a computer, telephone, electromagnetic, photoelectronic or
photo-optical systems. This CRL requirement is not limited to
employer-provided computers and devices, but also covers employees who
use their personal devices to transmit and receive emails and access
the internet through their employer's systems.

Subject: Robocalls Subject Of More FCC Cease And Desist Letters
by Christine M. Reilly , Brett J. Natarelli , Madelaine A. Newcomb and
Cody A. DeCamp
Continuing its recent trend of cracking down on robocalls, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) issued another three cease and desist
letters to voice service providers.
AireSpring, Hello Hello Miami and thinQ Technologies each received a
letter from the agency on March 22 explaining that investigations
found the providers were "apparently facilitating illegal robocall
traffic on their networks."
The investigations relied on information collected by the Traceback
Consortium and - for thinQ - the North Carolina Department of Justice.
