ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) proposes additional rules to help consumers prevent and detect the placement of unauthorized charges on their telephone bills, an unlawful and fraudulent practice commonly referred to as ‘‘cramming.’’ Several commenters in this proceeding support additional measures to prevent cramming, including requiring wireline carriers to obtain a consumer’s affirmative consent before placing third-party charges on telephone bills (i.e. ‘‘opt-in’’). There also is support for adopting anti-cramming rules for Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service. The Commission seeks further comment on whether it should take additional steps to prevent wireline cramming, including ‘‘opt-in’’, possible solutions to CMRS cramming, and any developments of VoIP cramming.
