Title: Empowering Consumers to Prevent and Detect Billing for Unauthorized Charges ("Cramming") 
Abstract:

On July 12, 2011, the Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing rules that would help consumers detect and prevent the placement of unauthorized charges on telephone bills, an unlawful and fraudulent practice commonly referred to as "cramming." On April 27, 2012, the Commission adopted rules to address "cramming" on wireline telephone bills and released a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on additional measures to protect wireline and wireless consumers from unauthorized charges.
