Tough new Federal Communications Commission rules designed to take on the nascent problem of wireless spam go into effect today.
The new provisions, which flesh out the Can-Spam Act, ban unsolicited commercial text messages to consumers, unless they have opted to receive such messages, or already have a relationship with the sender. The rules prohibit marketers from sending text-messages through the Internet to wireless devices, such as cell phones and PDAs. They don't apply to ads sent to e-mail addresses that are then forwarded to wireless devices such as BlackBerrys"
