Wireless spam prohibited under new FCC rule

WASHINGTON-Sending spam to wireless devices is illegal, under a law passed by the Federal Communications Commission earlier today.

“The FCC shields consumers’ wireless devices from these unsolicited, costly, and sometimes indecent messages,”commented FCC Chairman Michael Powell. “This order strikes an effective balance between protecting consumers from unwanted messages, while minimizing the burden on senders of such messages.”
