On October 14, 2010, the Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), Empowering Consumers to Avoid Bill Shock Consumer Information and Disclosure, CG Docket Nos. 10-207 and 09-158, FCC 10-180, proposing rules that would require mobile service providers to provide usage alerts and information that will assist consumers in avoiding unexpected charges on their bills. In so doing, the Commission found that consumers face significant challenges in monitoring mobile usage and protecting themselves from substantial roaming and overage charges for exceeding monthly allotments of voice, text and data services. The record compiled in this proceeding and the Commission’s own complaint data indicates that large numbers of mobile consumers experience bill shock each month. This type of bill shock can be prevented by timely and easily accessible usage information. In the absence of baseline information regarding usage balances, consumers are unable to control the costs they incur for mobile services.
