: Could you expand a bit on what the "red-flag" precess is, and how the
: FCC computers are involved?

Last I saw a couple years ago, you fill out an online complaint form with the 
FCC, the offender is "red-flagged" in the computers as being a violator, and 
sent a notice to resolve the issue.  They are sent another letter in a couple 
of weeks or a month or so asking both you and them how it was resolved and if 
done to your satisfaction.  If not, they give them a set time to resolve it, 
then ask again, if not, maybe a couple more, if not resolved then they start to 
send the threatening letters, quoting all sorts of violations of Federal law, 
fines per incident per day, et cetera and inform them to resolve it again and 
so forth.  Once they are flagged, it doesn't stop until you inform the feds 
it's now fixed.  Since it's computerized, it's automated and perpetual and 
doesn't stop until resolved and the "red flag" is removed from their name.
