FCC's cell phone spam ruling is bogus


Mike Masnick of TheFeature explains why this week's FCC ruling to "ban mobile spam" is a joke.
Most carriers provide some way of translating your phone number into an email address (often something along the lines of yourphonenumber@mail.yourcarrier.com), and this ruling only applies to those accounts... More to the point, however, the FCC made it very clear that this ruling means absolutely nothing when it comes to SMS spam.
