Dear Senator KJobuchar:
Thank you for your letters regarding the Commission's efforts to curb cramming. I value
your thoughts and leadership on this very impol1ant consumer issue. The work of the Commerce
Committee and its staff report were instrumental in informing the Commission's cramming
proceeding and the Order adopted on April 27.2012.
[ understand your concern about the potential problem of cramming involving wireless
services. Although the Commission concluded that the record before it did not satisfy a need for
rules to address cramming involving wireless - as well as VolP - services at this time, it
requested additional comments in the Fur/her No/ice ofProposed Rulemaking about wireless and
VolP cramming, and intends to monitor all consumer cramming complaints closely. If the
record from the Fur/her No/ice demonstrates that there is a need for rules to address cramming
involving wireless or VoIP services, I am committed to Commission action on the issue. In the
interim, we will include your letters in tbe record of the Further Notice proceeding for
consideration as part of the Commission's review.
I appreciate your interest in this matter. Please let me know if I can be of any fUliher
assistance.
Sincerely,
Julius Genachowski
