Event Synopsis:

The Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") final regulations requiring prior express written consent for autodialed telemarketing calls to cell phones and pre-recorded telemarketing messages under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") will go in effect on October 16, 2013.

With these latest FCC actions in mind, telecommunication companies, as well as their subsidiaries, affiliates and clients, face considerable challenges in creating and implementing effective TCPA compliance guidelines.

In a two-hour live webcast, the Knowledge Group is assembling a panel of distinguished industry leaders and practitioners to help telecommunication companies, which are bound to abide by the TCPA, understand new compliance guidelines to prevent their businesses from falling into the pitfalls of FCC actions.

Some of the key areas addressed in this webcast:

•TCPA: An Overview of New Regulations
•What Calls Are Affected?
•What Is an Automatic Telephone Dialing System?
•What Is Express Written Consent?
•What if There Is an Existing Business Relationship?
•Are There Any Exceptions?
•What Are the Penalties for Noncompliance?
•New Regulations Already in Effect
•Compliance and Best Practices
•Up-to-the-Minute Regulatory Updates
