The American Public Communications Council (APCC) is targeting carriers who fail to pay compensation to payphone providers for coinless payphone calls ( calls made with credit card and calling card).
The APCC's president, in sharply worded comments, said:
"This failure to comply with the FCC's rules could not be more
egregious and the incredible arrogance these carriers have
shown in thumbing their noses at the FCC is truly profound. In
addition to collecting our unpaid compensation, we hope and
expect the FCC will soon begin imposing significant penalties
and sanctions on these and the other non-paying carriers."
