Docomo Pacific agreed to pay a fine of $65,000 and take other steps in response to an FCC investigation of whether the company offered the required number of digital wireless hearing aid-compatible handsets during 2009. Docomo agreed to designate a compliance officer, establish a compliance plan and to report any further noncompliance within 15 days of its discovery, according to a consent decree (http://bit.ly/YLAFdL). The carrier told the Enforcement Bureau “it was difficult to verify the hearing aid compatibility ratings of certain of its handset models, and that it obtained handset model ratings ‘from the resources at its disposal,'” according to the order. Docomo Pacific serves Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.
