FTC Reaches Illegal Robocall Settlement
(Washington, DC) -- The Federal Trade Commission is reaching a settlement over illegal robocalls. The FTC announced that the Internet Protocol provider XCast Labs illegally put through hundreds of millions of the illegal robocalls. XCast Labs agreed not to violate the telemarketing rule in the future as part of the agreement, and also begin a screening process and stop working with firms not following telemarketing laws. The deal also includes a ten-million dollar civil penalty, which was suspended based on XCast's "inability to pay."
