Hassan Questions Trump Mobile's FCC Authorizations, Robocall Plan
Sen. Maggie Hassan wrote to Trump Mobile, saying the carrier apparently lacks the FCC authorizations required for its international calling service.
Sen. Maggie Hassan sent a letter to Trump Mobile on Tuesday saying the carrier apparently failed to obtain the authorizations needed for the international calling portion of its phone service, according to Ars Technica.
In the letter, Hassan said Trump Mobile does not appear to have submitted a required robocall-fighting plan. She said the company's partner, Liberty Mobile Wireless, did make a robocall database filing, but that the filing was not complete.
Hassan also said a search of the FCC's International Communications Filing System suggests Trump Mobile lacks the Section 214 authorization required for international service.
The letter raised security concerns as well. Hassan cited a report that hackers stole the personal data of 3,615 Trump Mobile customers, and wrote that a ransomware group claimed the company responded "we have no team to handle this" when it was notified of the breach.
Trump Mobile previously confirmed that a vendor it uses exposed customers' personal data on the Internet. The company has not publicly responded to Hassan's letter.
What Hassan is asking for
The letter asks for answers on Trump Mobile's FCC filings, its robocall compliance, and how it handled the reported breach, according to Ars Technica.
