FCC to get tougher on robocalls ? USATODAY.com

The Federal Communications Commission today is set to approve tougher rules giving consumers additional protection against unwanted autodialed or prerecorded calls to home phone lines. "We have gotten thousands of complaints," says FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski. "Consumers were still getting robocalls they don't want and shouldn't get." . . .

COMMENT: It will be interesting to learn how the FCC intends to enforce these new rules. What will happen to violators? Will people be able to enforce these new rules themselves like they can for violations under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)?
