  1. We need a "do not email" list law similar to the "do not call" list.

    Email spam is a huge time waster and in some cases is even worse than having unsolicited phone calls.

    • , but we are charged for them.There are far too many paid programming channels.

      Give the consumer a choice of the channels they do not have to pay for.

      • What Happened To The FCC ID Number Search ?

        The old link to "Generic Search" is now dead, the new link dosn't provide any usefull results.

        We need the ability to search FOR FCC ID numbers by any given criteria, such as Manufacturer name.

        Bring back;

        • email confirmation/submission page to sender

          I forgot to print the submission page with the confirmation number.
          There is no way of retrieving it electronically.
          Sending the sender an email confirmation will solve this issue.

            How about simple, legible & readily accessible lists of radio & television broadcast stations? If that information is here, it's buried deep.

            • Emergency Alert App for Internet Users

              Many people do not watch television, but instead, get their information/entertainment via the Internet. If a disaster or other threat were to occur, many of us would have no advance warning. A desktop Alert App would get the word out to many more people, not just television viewers, and hopefully lives could be saved.

              • regulate the monopolies help offer choices to the rural users

                In my area, there is only one cable provider and one phone provider, broadband service is tightly controlled by one provider. Suggest opening the area to more provider so consumers like myself have choices

                      • The Form 2000B does not really address the "Rural Call Completion" issue. Customers should be able to place an informal complaint about the

                        The customer NOT receiving the calls should not have to be the one to have to solve this problem. The FCC should be addressing this issue and at the very least make it easier for the frustrated customer to lodge a complaint on the website.

                          • Stop verizon wireless from victimizing customers. My name is Bernadette

                            The first thing that the FCC can do is to follow up on individual complaints and provide the complainant with some feedback. I have been victimized by Verizon for many years and I have filed with the FCC and you have given me no feedback whatsoever. Today I broke down while speaking to a Verizon supervisor. They were demanding that I disclose my daughter's social security number so that I could access the account which is under her name. I am authorized in the account and I pay the monthly bill. They demanded that I go to a local verizon…

                                • Privacy concern from call sign lookups

                                  Protect radio operators from preditory criminals due to too much personal data being viewable on the ULS.

                                  Imagine some criminal type using a scanner to collect call signs then looking those up in the ULS going to their home and robbing them or worse.
                                  Addresses and phone numbers should only be accessable by FCC personnel investigating an interference complaint or such.
