 Statement  of  FCC  Chairman  Michael  K.  Powell  Regarding  FCC  Enforcement  Action  on  Do-  Not-  Call  Rules 
 The  Federal  Communications  Commission  announced  today  that  it  has  proposed  a  $780,000  forfeiture  against  AT&  T  Corporation  for  violating  the  FCC’s  Do-  Not-  Call  rules. 
 Chairman  Michael  K.  Powell  issued  the  following  statement: 
 “Today’s  enforcement  action  demonstrates  our  resolve  in  the  fight  to  protect  consumers  from  unwanted  and  intrusive  telephone  calls.  This  puts  telemarketers  on  notice  that  we  will  take 
 all  measures  necessary  to  protect  consumers  who  chose  to  be  left  alone  in  their  homes.  Together  with  our  partners  at  the  Federal  Trade  Commission,  we  will  remain  vigilant  to  ensure  that 
 telemarketers  respect  the  wishes  of  consumers.”
