Cellular Spammin'

The FCC will create a do-not-spam list of wireless domains, such as attwireless.com or sprintpcs.com, so marketers do not spam wireless users. This differs from a "do-not-e-mail" list rejected by the FTC -- which determined such a list would be used by spammers to gather e-mails -- in that only the domain is given, not individual e-mail addresses. The FCC was assigned the task of figuring out how to enforce a law passed by Congress in 2003 prohibiting unsolicited messages to mobile phones. Marketers can only send e-mail messages to mobile phones if the user has opted in to receive them (unlike regular e-mail, which marketers can send without request as long as they provide a way to opt out). -- eMarketer Inc.
