"[The Enforcement Bureau is committed] to strong, vigorous, and fair
enforcement of the Commission's rules. . . . The Enforcement Bureau will
periodically release Enforcement Advisories, which are designed to educate
businesses about and alert consumers to what's required by FCC rules, the
purpose of those rules and why they're important to consumers, as well as
the consequences of failures to comply. We hope that these Advisories will
become a familiar tool for industry and their counsel as they conduct
periodic compliance reviews and increase their internal, self-policing
efforts."
Statement of P. Michele Ellison, Chief, Enforcement Bureau on
Issuance of the Bureau's First Enforcement Advisories, January 15, 2010
