The FCC found that Verizon Wireless failed to provide the Enforcement Bureau with the information that was needed to determine whether its Premium Visual Voicemail was accessible, and that Verizon was required to provide in response to the Bureau’s review of an informal complaint brought under the CVAA. The Enforcement Bureau therefore proposes a $100,000 fine against Verizon Wireless for apparently failing to produce documentation exhibiting due diligence in exploring the accessibility and achievability of its Premium Visual Voicemail service.
