(1999 TIB Order); published at 64 FR 

34488, June 25, 1999, which adopted 

principles and guidelines designed to 

reduce telecommunications fraud, such 

as slamming and cramming, by making 

bills easier for consumers to read and 

understand, and thereby, making such 

fraud easier to detect and report. In 

2000, Truth-in-Billing and Billing 

Format, CC Docket No. 98–170, Order 

on Reconsideration, (2000 

Reconsideration Order); published at 65

that Commercial Mobile Radio Service

from 47 CFR 64.2401(b), which requires 

billing descriptions to be brief, clear, 

non-misleading and in plain language. 

The 2005 Second Further Notice 

proposed and sought comment on

consumers to make informed choices 

among competitive telecommunications 

service providers.

released the Empowering Consumers to 

Prevent and Detect Billing for
