What happened
Trump Mobile apparently failed to obtain necessary authorizations to operate the international calling portion of its phone service, Sen. After hack and data breach (an incident in which data leaves an organisation without permission), senator asks why Trump Mobile lacks some FCC filings.
Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) wrote in a letter to the company today. Her letter said Trump Mobile also doesn't appear to have submitted a required plan for fighting robocalls.
