I have been digging on this today.
It's actually the CTIA (ctia.org). It looks like a group that the carriers have put together to control text spam (good). It looks like, somehow (?), they are connected to the FCC (not completely clear) It looks like the CTIA uses another company (i Connective, iConnectv, iConnectiv...name, still digging) to help administer complaints.
Not sure it's something fucky, but seems swampy.
So, thus far, it looks like this...
- FCC farmed out it's authority to the carriers
- The carriers set up an "industry group" (CTIA) to do the admin and regulate
- CTIA farmed out the admin and regulation to a private company (i Connective)
- Someone at hired company is a blue-haired, fat Kunty Karen and has abused their delegated power
The FCC Chairmen (Ajit Pai) should have the CEO and the person that made this decisions in his offer this afternoon and by the end of the day, there should be an apology from this private company for, ya know, INTERFERING IN ELECTIONS.
Fucking hell.
