FCC goes after political robocalls sent to cellphones

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has cited two marketing companies with making millions of illegal robocalls – for both Democratic and Republican campaigns – to wireless phone numbers in 2011 and 2012. Both firms have been ordered to stop making prohibited robocalls to cellphones.

In its citation, the FCC said Dialing Services of Roswell, N.M. (which runs the website GOPCalls.com) and Democratic Dialing of Aurora, Colo. did not have such permission.
