Unfortunately, I have some experience with the FCC and DNC; we had a big time dc lobbyist (patton boggs) who took us in there to help the fcc enforce the regulations with our software.

No dice. They have fined only 1 company (at&t, I think) a couple of years ago but have issued 50 or so "penalties" or "findings"--basically wrist slaps. The penalty is like $11k per instance so it can add up quickly. I think ATT actually had to pay $6m, IIRC.

One of the bigshots there as much as said that they aren't in the enforcement business, so there it is.
