CCA Seeks Changes to Draft Robotexting Rules

The Competitive Carriers Association raised concerns with an aide to FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel on draft robotexting rules teed up for a commissioner vote Thursday (see 2302230059). CCA members need more time than proposed implement a requirement to block text messages from numbers on a do not originate list, said a filing posted Friday in docket 21-402. “The current 30-day timeframe in the draft would not sufficiently permit carriers to work with vendors to implement solutions,” CCA said: “Additional time would also permit carriers adequate time to audit any voluntary solutions they may have in place and make any necessary modifications to better meet the Commission’s new requirements.”
