Billboard Companies Agree to Pay Combined $60,000 for Violating FCC Rules

The FCC Enforcement Bureau settled with two digital billboard companies. Boyce Industries agreed to pay a $39,500 civil penalty for marketing LED signs “used in digital billboards and other commercial and industrial applications, without the required equipment authorization, labeling, and user manual disclosures in violation of the Commission’s rules,” said a Friday order. Media Resources agreed to pay $19,500 for the same kinds of violations. Both companies agreed to acknowledge they violated rules and will implement compliance plans. Neither company commented.
