| Description | AT&T faces a $780,000 fine for reaching out and touching consumers who had asked to be left alone, federal regulators said Monday.
The Federal Communications Commission said it was the first major penalty for violating do-not-call rules for telemarketers.
The FCC said AT&T made 78 phone calls to 29 consumers who had asked the company to leave them alone. The proposed fine is $10,000 per call.
"This puts telemarketers on notice that we will take all measures necessary to protect consumers who chose to be left alone in their homes," FCC Chairman Michael Powell said.
