January 9, 2025 — Letter

During the meeting we described:

  • The misuse of consumers’ “consents” by lead generators and others is a major factor contributing to the increasing number of illegal telemarketing calls and texts.
  • How the regulation will bring substantial benefits to both consumers and small businesses.
  • The ways in which reducing telemarketing calls will facilitate blocking of scam calls.
  • The fact that both the FTC and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid have also required one-to-one consent, in Section IV, and the FTC has successfully mounted substantial enforcement efforts against major lead generators.
  • How prohibiting lead generators from sharing telemarketing consent forms will still permit lead generators to provide helpful services to consumers and businesses.
  • The almost 400 express comments filed with the Commission in this docket, that we attach as an Appendix to this ex parte letter.
