Lead generators and the companies that rely on them can breathe a sigh of relief. On Friday evening, less than three days before an onerous regulation was set to go into effect, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) reversed itself, postponing the effective date by twelve months, to January 26, 2026. The regulation, known as the One-to-One Consent Rule, would have drastically hampered the lead generation business by requiring consumers to be advised, at the time of their initial consent, what companies would have the right to solicit them, even if the consumers wished to make an open-ended request to receive, for example, text messages from the lowest bidder.
