Regulatory & Statutes

One-to-One Consent

The FCC rule that would have required a consumer’s TCPA consent to name a single specific seller. It was vacated by a federal appeals court in 2025 before taking effect — but state mini-TCPAs and the underlying PEWC standard still govern.

Why One-to-One Consent Matters for Operators

Lead generation runs on top of a stack of statutes and rules — the TCPA, the FTC’s Telemarketing Sales Rule, the FCC’s orders, and a fast-growing set of state laws. Knowing which one governs a given action is the difference between a clean funnel and a costly one.

Understanding one-to-one consent is part of running a clean lead-generation funnel. Whether you generate, buy, or broker leads, this concept affects how you capture consent, who you can contact, and the proof you need to keep — so it directly shapes your exposure.
