The Traced Act will provide regulators with the tools they need to crack down on illegal robocalls and the TRUE Fees Act will require<\/span>\u00a0cable and satellite TV providers to disclose an \u201call-in\u201d price for their services.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The following statement is attributable to NCL Executive Director Sally Greenberg:<\/span><\/p>\n “The Passage of the Traced Act and the TRUE Fees act is a win for consumers.
