Chinese site in signal-jammer sting could pay record $34.9M FCC fine

NetworkWorld report that a Chinese electronics vendor accused of
selling signal jammers to U.S. consumers could end up leading the
market in one dubious measure: the largest fine ever imposed by the
Federal Communications Commission.

The agency wants to fine CTS Technology US$34,912,500 for allegedly
marketing 285 models of jammers over more than two years. CTS
boldly—and falsely—claimed that some of its jammers were approved by
the FCC, according to the agency’s enforcement action released
Thursday. Conveniently, CTS’ product detail pages also include a
button to “report suspicious activity.”

The proposed fine, which would be bigger than any the FCC has levied
for anti-competitive behavior, not airing children’s shows, or a
wardrobe malfunction, comes from adding up the maximum fines for each
model of jammer the company allegedly sold in the U.S. The agency also
ordered CTS, based in Shenzhen, China, to stop marketing illegal
jammers to U.S. consumers and identify the buyer of each jammer it
sold in the U.S.
