Abstract: The Commission released a Report and Order on August 12, 2004 (FCC 04-52) adopting rules to prohibit the sending of commercial messages to any address referencing an Internet domain name associated with wireless subscribers' messaging services, unless the individual addressee has given the sender express prior authorization. To assist the senders of such messages in identifying those subscribers, the Commission requires that Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) providers submit those domain names to the Commission, for inclusion in a list that will be made publicly available on the FCC’s website. No individual subscriber’s electronic mail addresses will be collected or included on this list. CMRS providers will be required to supply the Commission with names of all Internet domains on which they offer mobile messaging service. The rules prohibit sending any commercial messages to addresses that contain domain names that have been included on the official list for at least 30 days or at any time prior to 30 days if the sender otherwise knows that the message is addressed to a wireless device.
